A high-ranking Defense Department IT official has been arrested and indicted on child pornography charges.

Charles Lynch, director of the Defense Information Systems Agency’s Internet Protocol version 6 transition program, was arrested March 8 and indicted in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia the next day on one count of possessing child pornography.

According to a statement by the DOD Inspector General’s Office, court documents allege that Lynch had been operating a peer-to-peer file-sharing program on a computer in his office at DISA. Agents confiscated several computers and more than 1,000 CDs from Lynch’s office. Agents found child pornography in computer file folders, the IG’s statement said.

Lynch, 44, is on leave without pay from DISA. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

6. Who watches the watchers?

These are the people we trust with a "limited program."

Are they surveiling terrorists, or surfing for kiddie porn?

Are they spying on Al Quaeda, or hacking into our Kodak Online accounts to masturbate to pictures of our children?

WE NEED TO SEE THOSE WARRANTS!
