BREAKING: O'Reilly had Catherine Heridge (sp?) on describing the case.
***********
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - A youth sports coach in Arlington County who is also a past president of Virginia's American Civil Liberties Union chapter was arrested Friday and charged with receiving and possessing child pornography.
Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, of Arlington, made an initial appearance Friday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria and was detained pending a preliminary hearing Wednesday.
It was unclear Friday whether he had an attorney. A call to his home went unanswered.
A federal agent said in a sworn affidavit Friday that Rust-Tierney has subscribed to various child-pornography Web sites the past several years.
The affidavit states that Rust-Tierney also admitted to an agent Friday that he has downloaded videos and photos, which were found in a search of his home, from child porn sites.

Missing headlines (a continuing series)
"..Clarice Feldman
Charles Rust-Tierney,the former President of the Virginia chapter of the ACLU ,is arrested for possession of very graphic and disturbing child pornography.
He is a very prominent figure in the Washington D.C. area. Where does the story appear? Page B05 of the Washington Post in the Virginia Briefing section as a two paragraph arrest notice. On the front page is a story about victims of priest molestation..."

YEah, I was using that infernal "we as a country". I have better things to do too. Still, I have otherwise reasonable friends who are riveted by it and I must confess I've been keeping up.
Just another isolated incident.
Interesting thought you have posted. Let's wait and see what comes out.
However, many ACLU leaders at the regional and national level have had long records of support for various communist parties fronts and causes, including Aryeh Neier, Romero, Donner, Rein, DiSuvero and wife, Ramona Ripston (Cal), etc. that they didn't want made public.
If the allegations against this former ACLU leader is true, then we, in Virginia, can say:
The ACLU - Looking out for your children, for themselves!
or ACLU - Accosting children, legally underage
or APLU (I can's spell good tonight) - American Perverts Liberties Union
Wonder if his wife will become the head of the Pro-Provert Castration League?
"The complaint states that federal investigations into child pornography websites revealed that "Charles Rust-Tierney has subscribed to multiple child pornography website over a period of years."
As recently as last October, the complaint alleges, "Rust-Tierney purchased access to a group of hardcore commercial child pornography websites."
Complaint Alleges Access to Graphic Material
Rust-Tierney admitted to investigators that he had downloaded videos and images from child pornography websites onto CD-ROMs, according to the complaint. "
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=2900174&page=1
"The investigation is being conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and the Arlington County Police as part of the Northern Virginia and District of Columbia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Rust-Tierney made an initial appearance in a federal court in Alexandria, VA, Friday. He is being detained pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for Wednesday, February 28. "
ICE has been given responsibility for enforcement of Customs laws as well as Immigration. they therefore enforce federal law concerning the importation of porn. BTW they also have responsibility for investigating the "I'm an african prince and I'll pay you a lot of money if you just cash a check for me" scams. (although they don't really have the time or resources to deal with those crimes)
none of the news stories have his pic (is this kinda like when they dont say the culprit is a dem?)
Thanks for the ping!
Jon Stewart will have a field day with this!... wait, did you say ACLU? Nevermind.
Ruth Buzzi is a MILLION times more funny than Ms. Ginsberg! :-)
