in fact, senator jon kyl, republican of arizona, is going the other way. he has a bill to really crack down on what he calls a "social pathology." >> it's so easy to do. it's so easy for kids to do. it's so addictive. and it has been frequently demonstrated that there's a lot of graft and corruption in this. >> kyl's bill aims to choke off the money by prohibiting all u.s. banks and credit card companies from handling any online gambling transactions. >> even if you curtail the credit cards, people who want to do this are gonna find a way. >> we may not be able to stop it all, but if we can stop the major part of it that's coming from offshore, i think we will have done something very, very good. >> kyl bristles at how today law enforcement does nothing to go after offshore operators. this is a big convention of the international gambling industry going on in las vegas, and there is an entire pavilion devoted just to internet gaming. and many of those companies and their top executives are here. how can this be so open if what they're doing is illegal? why
