Can't wait for the Clinton Spin machine try to trash Freeh. I hope Freeh provides the necessary fuel to finally turn clinton into a Pariah he should be.

Mr. Freeh describes how he argued unsuccessfully for the appointment of an independent counsel to investigate Mr. Clinton's fund-raising practices during the 1996 campaign and says he could never communicate with the president because "with him, it always seemed to be personal."

Everything was 'personal' because Bill Clinton approaches political life as his own masturbatory fantasy. Everything about him shows that he's the most narcissitic egomaniac the country has ever seen, and among politicians that's saying quite a lot!

Thanks for posting.

Hooray for Louis J. Freeh!

MORE insight into Richard A. Clarke.

...and [Freeh] says he could never communicate with the president because "with him, it always seemed to be personal."

In this case, there was a perfectly good reason for Clinton's behavior.

He was personally guilty.

In this case, there was a perfectly good reason for Clinton's defensiveness.

He was personally guilty.

The NYT wants to promote Freeh as the official Clinton critic with this cheer leading headline. No doubt because they feel Freeh can keep the flames to a minimum.

Just raises more questions about why Freeh waited this long to do the slam dunk with Clarke... Later is better than never, but it would have been so much more effective had he given the swirly to Clarke when Clarke was riding high on the media-whore circuit...

Just as interesting is what the NY Times article leaves out (Saudi donation, drawing blood for the Monica stain DNA test, etc.)

Louise Freeh:

Richard A. Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism chief, was "basically a second-tier player" who had little access to power and was in no position to issue credible warnings in advance of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. "If he was rushing around the executive branch trying to make a case that we were in imminent danger of a terrorist attack on our shores, he wasn't trying to make that case with me,"

[R.W.Ratikal]

Louis Freeh, former Director of the FBI, charges that the former impeached president, Bill Clinton, asked Saudi Arabia for money for his personal use (the Clinton library) in return for foreign policy considerations in Saudi's favor.

Freeh would not dare make such a charge if he did not have proof to back it up. If it is indeed true this would be the greatest scandal to come out of the most corrupt and scandal-ridden presidency in American history.

And while such an act can not be classed as traitorous, such as when Jane Fonda went to Vietnam during the Vietnam war and made propaganda for the communists, it is certainly a betrayal of his oath to protect and preserve the Constitution.

Throughout his career Mr. Clinton has shown a cavalier disregard for the law but this time he might be in deep trouble. Mr. Freeh, watch your back.

The way 60 mins presented it last night was amazing! They let Freeh run wild on clinochhio and even brought out sandy burglar a convicted liar and thief to defend clinochhio. When the segment was over I actually believed that they would do a second segment trashing Freeh. It never came.WOW!!!! Because Freeh is so well respected among the general public this book has the best chance of sticking. It probably won't but it does have a great chance to stick because it alleges the kind of sleazy conduct that people already believe went on in that administration. There is no big jump here. Nobody is saying anybody is a murderer, just a scumbag and that people can believe about clinton.

Someone refresh my memory please. Who was heading up the FBI during Waco?

Settling a score, Louis J. Freeh...

First lie, first sentence. Amazing.

Louis J. Freeh set out to tell the truth. And that's what he did. The New York Times should take lessons...
