Old news.
Which is why the story starts like this...
Ten years ago this Sunday,...
Upon being advised that our investigation now had proof that Iran blew up Khobar Towers, Mr. Berger's astounding response was: "Who knows about this?" His next, and wrong, comment was: "That's just hearsay." When I explained that under the Federal Rules of Evidence the detainees' comments were indeed more than "hearsay," for the first time ever he became interested - and alarmed - about the case. But this interest translated into nothing more than Washington "damage control" meetings held out of the fear that Congress, and ordinary Americans, would find out that Iran murdered our soldiers.
More pertinently, I think the remarks by Berger call into question the WSJ's previous position that Berger acted stupidly, but not with ill intent, when he heisted classified documents from the National Archives.
"Old news."
Which the Left doesn't get ten years later.
First - an aside to your "Old news" comment, toddlintown:
what *does* get to be old news are posters who are quick to dismiss a thread as "old news". BTW, americaprd also posted his take on Freeh's op ed.
Back to the topic and just my two cents -- first, it is not old news. It is a reflection by Freeh on mistakes past....
Second, anyone who thinks that Sandy "burglar" Berger and Madeline not-so-bright Albright are just minor league screwups would think of John Gacy as just a guy in a clown suit.
This post is a good example of why we have FR. To continue to expose Clinton and his minions. Freeh's editorial is worthy of repeating to remind us why we are in the Middle East today.
And, third, while I have your attention, if every warning were considered to be old news *after* the initial warning, we would have needed only the ONE warning given to us by G*d in the Garden of Eden; you know, the warning that went something along the lines of "watch for snakes".
Instead, we need to be reminded daily to watch for snakes in the grass.
Nuconvert, thanks for the post.
From the excerpt:
The Khobar victims, along with the courageous families and friends who will mourn them this weekend in Washington, deserve our respect and honor. More importantly, they must be remembered, because American justice has still been denied.Helpful FReeper Tip #42 - You will find that it is less embarrassing to actually read the article (and not just the headline) before you post your comments.
Lots of folks haven't read Freeh's book so this is NEW news.
Damn glad none of YOUR loved ones perished in that explosion!
And if the bad guys become active here again, we'll send them to YOUR house first.
Insensitive dolt!!
