An independent inspector general will look into the foreign financial ties of Chas W. Freeman Jr., the Obama administration's pick to serve as chairman of the group that prepares the U.S. intelligence community's most sensitive assessments, according to three congressional aides.
The director of national intelligence, Dennis C. Blair, last Thursday named Mr. Freeman, a veteran former diplomat, to the chairmanship of the National Intelligence Council, known inside the government as the NIC. In that job, Mr. Freeman will have access to some of America's most closely guarded secrets and be charged with overseeing the drafting of the consensus view of all 16 intelligence agencies.
His selection was praised by some who noted his articulateness and experience as U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia and a senior envoy to China and other nations.

More confirmation that my 2009 tagline is right on target and probably will be as long as Zer0 is our new king.
Freeman is a wholly owned Muslim whore.
On this there can be no dispute.
He is just a little taller than one of their favorite sheep, and doesn’t squeal.
Why not just nominate Putin or Ahmedineghad? Or don’t they have the required amount of contempt for the United States?
your right...we probably don’t even have the right to question this. silly me...I forget they have redefined what we used to think of as a Red State...lol
