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..."
I would say that is par for the course. No surprise...
Some are just rebels for the sake of it. But what a place for a true creep to hide.
"Hannity & Colmes covering Anna Nicole."
Yup. I`m surprised they have`nt changed the name of their program to the Anna Nicole Show.
I hope the authorities have their i`s dotted and t`s crossed, because this guy will have all the resources of the ACLU to draw upon.
Did a Yahoo news search of this. The only newspaper mentioning it is the Washington Times.
Fox & Friends this morning did`nt even mention this in passing. They were talking about Hillary, Obama, and Anna Nicole. CNN had nothing to say about it.
BINGO.
I have a feeling this story just got a little bit more... complicated... Another sacred cow has entered the ring...
Obviously this is what the ACLU policymakers mean by "consenting adults" and "responsible viewing habits".
Consequently you will probably not find any MSM types DEFENDING this guy, not even as a "sick man in need of treatment".
Expect silence unless he names names.
It's already lurched.

While the ACLU forces us to be subjected to blatantly objectionable materials, they turn around and prevent Christians from activities or freedom of expression because it 'mihgt be seen as objectionable by some.'

Charles Rust-Tierney Arrest
Update5: Apparently he did his VISTA work with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission.
Update4: He's on the board of Directors of this legal group...
Update3: I have him listed as a baseball coach for a team of 9/10 year olds. I'm not linking it as, based on other research, his son is also on the team and it lists his name.
Update2: In 2002 he forfeited his law license for failure to pay his dues. It may have been re-instituted...
