Bill O'Reilly blasts Ashcroft and Reno for Corruption

There is something very wrong inside the Justice Department of the United States and there has been for some time.

Various newspapers are now reporting that under President Clinton, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was ordered to stand down on various terrorist investigations.

One of the most egregious examples is the failure of the bureau to investigate fundraising organizations like "The Holy Land Fund," based in Arizona, which allegedly funneled millions of dollars in donations to Middle Eastern terrorists.

Although the Bush administration has now frozen the assets of the fund, it was apparently allowed to operate for 8 years despite the FBI intelligence that was presented to Mr. Clinton and then-Attorney General Janet Reno. One bureau source told the press that Ms. Reno felt any investigation of "The Holy Land Fund" would lead to anti-Arab sentiment and therefore was opposed to such an investigation.

As always, Ms. Reno will not comment on any aspect of her tenure as attorney general that is at all controversial.

There is no question now that under Ms. Reno and then-FBI Director Louis Freeh, Americans were put at great risk. The Wen Ho Lee-Chinese espionage case still has not been explained, and the fact that the 19 Sept. 11 terrorists weren't even on the FBI's radar screen is about as frightening as Janet Reno's passion for political correctness.

The current attorney general, John Ashcroft, has made no attempt to examine Ms. Reno's bizarre behavior or update the public about the Marc Rich investigation or anything else. Mr. Ashcroft specializes in looking dour and stonewalling. While Congress is attempting to get documents about President Clinton's dubious foreign fundraising and FBI abuses in Boston, Ashcroft is refusing to cooperate at all.

And this isn't a political issue. Conservative Congressman Dan Burton and liberal Congressman Barney Frank have actually joined forces to try and pry this information from Ashcroft's hands. If that's not amazing, then nothing is.

The truth is that for nearly 8 years, the Justice Department has been corrupt and inefficient. Janet Reno botched nearly every important decision she had to make including Waco and Elian Gonzalez. Time after time, Ms. Reno refused to approve investigative initiatives sought by the FBI. And time after time, Mr. Freeh sat in his plush government office refusing to let the American people know what was happening.

Now Mr. Ashcroft is doing the same thing. There is no reason on this earth why the public should not know the status of the Rich pardon probe. Or the anthrax investigation. And what about Enron, Mr. Attorney General – are you going to look into that? Millions of Americans were hosed while some Enron executives made millions.

How about a comment on that, Mr. Ashcroft?

Here is the whole article.

I see that exodus and palo require defending by you, whoever you are.

They must REALLY be into something freaky.

She's just rude.
It's her trademark.

[Howlin]

ROFLMAO...........trying to draw others into your tawdry activities? Is that the Bill "They all do it" Clinton way to rationalize your seedy affair?

[westmex]

My what a pure mind you have...I'm not defending exodus, but I will defend palo...If you look in earliers post I called her Sweetie and said I loved her. Why would this bother you????

[exodus]

I'm going to bed now, Howlin.
Goodnight.

And no, you can't come.

[westmex]

If 'it' is a woman she must be one fridged potatoe....

[Howlin]

Here's a good idea; why don't you all download MIRC and start your own chat room. This is not AOL, nor is it Lucianne. At least TRY to act grownup.

[Howlin]

Make that a SEX chat room.

I got to express a lot of ideas on this thread I had been inhibiting myself from saying
plus read posts here which meant a lot to me
I had reached a point where I thought the thoughts in my mind, I was the only one having them
I was still a liberal when I realized clinton would take away our Constitution
I thought I was alone in fighting him
till I watched the FReeper demonstration in Washington DC on C-Span during Impeachment
I got converted being a right winger here
but truth and justice is still my passion
it meant a lot to me tonight to find this thread and discover what burns for me burns for others
I don't mind lively debate
I think truth is found when each person expresses truly their perception
Love, Palo

What's the matter, is she unable to respond on here own ? She seemed perfectly able to post a reply, WITHOUT your assistanace, to others. Your 2 cents worth isn't needed. You did NOT write what I responded to, and she implied it was President Bush. Why don't you go reread what your cyber inamorta wrote ? Oh, and keep the flirting off the threads.

No, I am NOT jealous, dear. There should be NO PDA, on threads , is all. : - )

[westmex]

At least TRY to act grownup.

I did my growing up in WWII and the Korea Police action....Just where did you do your growing up..? You sound like a little sex of any sort would do you good.....

[onyx]

Time to change the fly paper. Attracting too damn many 'insects.' Almost an infestation.

[onyx]

Keep it up buster. I smell a nuke coming your way.

[Howlin]

Why don't you keep that kind of talk over on your thread?

[westmex]

Be my guest any time.....

[Humidston]

"Nothing like the smell of napalm in the morning..."

[nopardons]

NOBODY IS JEALOUS ! Got that ?

Fr is NOT an assignation room. It is a Conservative News Foeum; or was, until a flock of newbies decided thta IT was really a chat room / flirt board.

GROW UP !

[onyx]

Look 'old-timer' you're out of line. FR is not a chat room for your sexual fantasies. Get it?

[onyx]

LOL!

[westmex]

I want to know when and where you self rightous souls grew up? I did more growing up`in an hour than you pukes have in your whole miserable lives...
