In the summer of 2003, Operation Predator was launched by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency. The investigation has targeted individuals who make and consume child pornography worldwide. Because much of this stuff is manufactured overseas and shipped to America, ICE agents took the lead in tracking down the bad guys in the United States.
According to ICE agents, one of those who used a credit card to purchase child porn is attorney Charles Rust-Tierney, the former president of the American Civil Liberties Union in Virginia. Tierney was arrested and charged on Feb. 23.
Tierney apparently told the feds that he paid for the child porn using a PayPal account and then downloaded images of prepubescent girls being violently raped onto CD-ROM disks, which the authorities seized in his home.
One of the images Tierney was in possession of showed a little girl tied up and screaming while being violently raped.
This shocking case received little media attention even though Tierney, 51, is a well-known figure in the Washington, D.C., area and strenuously fought against limits on Internet access in libraries.
On Dec. 1, 1998, Tierney issued this statement: “Recognizing that individuals will continue to behave responsibly and appropriately while in the library, the default should be maximum, unrestricted access to the valuable resources of the Internet.”
And included among those “resources” is child porn. The ACLU in Virginia successfully blocked any filtering of objectionable material in Loudon County libraries.
This is off-the-chart disturbing and you would think the media would be all over it...
There is no question that an ACLU big shot who fought against library filters being busted on federal child porn charges is a big story. So what’s going on?

Title: In the minds of some people, yes.
Torturing children is just pure evil. And getting sexual enjoyment out of it is evil. And to have this guy with this problem work for the ACLU is just pure evil.
If anyone is in need of rehab, it's this guy.
If accurate, he should be in prison...
The media believes that if they do not report it then the problem will just go away.
Wait a second,,, no one heard of this? No One? Even the bloggers?
We don't need the MSM old or new any longer to put the information out there. If anything is out there, its going to be noticed.
If no one noticed, then 'ICE' clearly helped silence this.
Careful, you might get accused of "hate speech" and told to go to rehab. You can't discriminate for sexual orientation, remember?
Where's the ACLU when you need it??
Sounds like the ACLU is against free speech ?
Tongue in cheek, Right?
There is some minor reporting.
If we did this, it would be breaking news every ten minutes from all the bigs.
This guy sued(?) to let library patrons surf where ever they wanted .... hoisted on his own pitard I say .....nice to see an ACLU puke get theirs ......
Sounds accurate :

Hey Thanks!
I kept hearing about American Thinker web site but never got to it .... just added it to my searches ....
American Thinker has some good stuff.
I never go there enough.
There is no rehab for this kind of animal.
The sooner he and his kind are expurgated from our society, the better off we will all be.
He should be turned into fertilizer at the soonest opportunity.
