Former FBI Director Louis Freeh has written a book detailing his career, including his eight years as head of the bureau during the Clinton administration - where he describes his frustration over the fact that Bill Clinton wouldn't take his warnings about the terrorist threat seriously.

Freeh's book - due out in October and titled "My FBI: Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Waging War on Terror" - promises to be the first in-depth account by the nation's former top cop of his days presiding over FBI investigations into one Clinton scandal after another. According to publisher St. Martin's Press, "Freeh tells his story, from Catholic school to law school to U.S. district attorney to head of the FBI, where he battles his boss, Bill Clinton, and tries to make everyone wake up to the threat of terrorism."

The former top lawman has previously complained about Clinton abuses of power in the Filegate and Chinagate scandals.

He told the Wall Street Journal in 2002 that the Clinton administration had a cavalier attitude toward terrorism.

I wonder if Freeh will get a full hour on "60 Minutes"/sarcasm off

[b4its2late]

That'll be a good one too.

[Prince Charles]

Doubtless, Screwy Louie will yet again try to pass himself off as being "victimized" by the Klintoons.

Eight years of frustration, huh? If you wanted to be taken seriously, Freeh, you should've resigned in protest. But you didn't, did you?

I have been waiting for Freeh to write a book.

Look for Freeh to write about the OKC Bombing and how Clinton covered up the Iraqi connection. I would also like to kn ow what Freeh knows about Hillary's use of FBI files against her political enemies.

I can't wait for this book if Louie unloads on the Administration he despised

"Clinton wouldn't take his warnings about the threat of terrorism seriously"

Oh, that runs against the Clinton message. The Clinton Administration was very diligent in fighting terrorism, yes sir. Just ask Sandy Berger.

Can't wait to see Freeh castigated in the press.

It's difficult to take much of what anyone says serious who was in a position of authority during the Clinton years. True, they may not have been able to stop him, but they could have gone on the record.

I'm sure Freeh to this day sees absolutely nothing wrong with the FBI director before him being forcably removed from his office the day before Foster was assassinated.

He saw nothing wrong with the TWA Investigation. Saw nothing wrong with the events at Waco or the subsequent investigation.

Yeah Louis, tell us in glowing detail what a fine upstanding terd you are.

[MJY1288]

Check out who is writing a book :-)

This should be interesting!!!

[DoughtyOne]

BTW, what does Louis say about those 900+ FBI files? Why didn't he demand them returned to the FBI?

[MJY1288]

Do you realize that Clinton met with Yassir Arafat more times than he did Louis Freeh?

That's Clinton's fault, not Freeh's

[cmsgop]

Alot of Ex-Intel Folks have backed up the "Look The Other Way" policy on China during the Clinton Administration.

[Diver Dave]

Well, Louie, You had the power and authority to arrest Clinton - both of them, and/or to seek subpoenas from a friendly judge for records.

Oh, I forgot, "I don't recall" was good enough for ya. Wuss!

[demkicker]

I can't believe Freeh doesn't have blackmailable skeletons in his closet. Otherwise, why would Clinton have picked him? This doesn't smell right...

[mystery-ak]

I have no interest in what Freeh has to say now...he had 8 years to say/do the right thing, but he choose to whore his job...

[wagglebee]

Not to nit pick, but it's doubtful that Freeh or anyone else for that matter has the Constitutional authority to arrest a sitting president.

[MJY1288]

Freeh was chosen for a reason.... My guess is the Clinton's had something on him. The 30 day delay in executing Timothy McViegh ordered by John Ashcroft is the key. Those FBI interview files that McViegh's Lawyers, nor the Prosecutors, ever saw in Discovery is something that could have halted MCViegh's execution if he asked.

I would love to know what is in those files and I hope Freeh writes about them

[MJY1288]

You might change your mind after what (I Think) he will write about

[keithtoo]

This can't be right. Bill Clinton himself, said he was 'obsessed' with tracking down Bin Laden during his administration.

[mystery-ak]

What do you think he has to say?
