Obama eyes intel pick tied to bin Laden

JERUSALEM – The Obama administration's reported pick for a top intelligence post has financial ties to the infamous bin Laden family – including dealings after Sept. 11, 2001. Charles "Chas" Freeman, the U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War, is slated to head the National Intelligence Council, according to multiple reports. Freeman has come under fire in the Israeli media and on some pro-Israel blogs for his sharp criticism of the Jewish state. He also reportedly heavily criticized American anti-terrorism policy. Now Ashley Rinsdberg, a Jerusalem-based researcher and blogger for the Daily Beast website has dug up another issue that may cause even bigger worry for the likely Obama appointee – he had business ties to Osama bin Laden's family and strongly defended the connections after 9/11. Rindsberg documented how as chairman of Projects International, Inc., a company that develops worldwide business deals, Freeman declared in an Associated Press interview just after the 9/11 attacks he was still "discussing proposals with the Bin Laden Group – and that won't change."

You're late. I said this a year ago and was flamed.

I’ve been convinced since week two he was a part of a sleeper cell.

Call me a tinfoil hat wearer or whatever, but it’s becoming ridiculous.

Obama, you stinking, filthy animal - you have done more to damage this Republic and drive it toward a second civil war in 30 days than all of your predecessors combined could manage since Lincoln took a round to the skull. You've been treading the fine line of sedition from Day One, and even our military is beginning to defy and abandon you, one soldier at a time. If you had one ounce of dignity, intelligence, or even a sense of self-preservation inside that flap-eared coconut sitting on your neck stump, you'd pull your puppetmaster's fist out of your ass and write off the whole smoke-and-mirrors putsch as Hennessy-induced bad idea.

Thanks for the link. Will read it in a bit...doesn’t sound too good. Gotta run and cook supper.

Sounds like we are doomed economically and domestically.
