Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster says in Wednesday's "craigslist blog", that he filed suit against Henry McMaster, seeking declaratory relief and a restraining order.

The attorney general of Illinois says Craigslist is getting rid of its "erotic services" ads and will create a new adult category that will be reviewed by employees of the Web site.
As of today for all US sites, postings to the "erotic services" category will no longer be accepted, and in 7 days the category will be removed.
