Freeh, another horse's arse.
Because of his incompetence while FBI Director, the bureau went to hell in a hand basket and the country was caught on 9/11 with our proverbial pants down.

Freeh should give any profits from his book to the families of those who died on 9/11.

Worse, he had been behaving that way so long that the closets were full of skeletons just waiting to burst out."

He may have had skeletons in his closet, but he had porkers under his desk.

Bill Clinton bears more blame for this than Freeh does.

In the print edition, this article is given on an inner column of an inner page. Very easy to miss.

I watched 60 Minutes and was disappointed that the interview of Freeh wasn't longer.

The FBI was hamstrung by the Carter-era law banning the FBI and CIA from working together.

As Ann Coulter has pointed out, the FBI's attempts to crack down on potential terrorists during the Clinton administration was inhibited by the Reno Justice Department.

The FBI cannot investigate international conspiracies without cooperation from the CIA and higher-ups at Justice.

Certain leads were never followed because legal blocks set up long before prevented them from being followed.

The FBI's hands may not be completely clean, but if blame for 9/11 belongs at anyone's doorstep it is the CIA, State, Justice and Clinton.

Blame Gorelick. The wall made it impossible for the FBI and the CIA to share any information on suspected terrorists.

It was all about saving slick willie from the truth about the chinese communists and it ended up costing America 3,000 innocent lives.

Slick referred to his FBI director as F- en Freeh and simply declined to meet with the CIA director for more than a year. His National Security Advisor pled guilty to theft of state secrets and as part of his plea, admitted he lied about it. Slick's other appointee, Deutsch, committed security breeches so egregious that he has been utterly discredited. Clinton loathed his chief law enforcement officer, Reno, as much as he detested Freeh.

But the President of the United States of America was so compromised by his own crimes that he dared not discharge any of these misfits (as he, by all reports, believed them to be) as was his duty. To protect himself, he knowingly risked the security of his country.

What a damning indictment!

Virtually the whole Clinton administration was rotten. Freeh, for all his mistakes, was actually one of the better ones.

"Clinton as much as admitted to Freeh's allegations when he sent his lackies including CONVICTED FELON, Sandy Berger out to spin their tales and slander him on the Sunday talk shows."


Really? the message I got from the various spin people was

1. Yes, Clinton hit a lot of people up about the library.

2.Freeh wasn't even at the meeting with crown prince all five of the people who were there say that Freeh is not telling the truth.

3. Freeh is trying to distract from his FBI failures

Now, I agree their tone was in agreement with Clinton being opportunistic but they seemed to deny all the really negative specifics.

Oh, and over and over they mentioned that it was CLinton who appointed Freeh.

I wasn't able to watch it...but, fortunately, as is always the case with blockbuster "60 Minutes" interviews, I was able to catch the most damaging excerpts by watching all the extensive MSM coverage today.

And yes, if you didn't guess...I'm being sarcastic.
