"Iran's most senior leaders planned, furnished, and carried out the 1996 murders of nineteen U.S. servicemen at Khobar Towers (Saudi). As I've already shown, we had the goods on them, cold, yet the Clinton administration miserably failed to seek any redress. p 303, prgrph 2.

Former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Louis Freeh, a North Bergen native, wrote a book about his eight years as the head of the nation's top law enforcement agency in which he blames former President Bill Clinton for having a soft stance on terrorism, especially after the June 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 United States servicemen. In his book, My FBI, that was released last week by St. Martin's Press, Freeh writes that Clinton turned a blind eye towards the Saudis because then-Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, now King Abdullah, was donating large sums of...

In November 1997, Mr. Freeh sent Attorney General Janet Reno a 27-page memo about allegations of illicit fund-raising during the 1996 campaign. Much "soft money" came into the Clinton-Gore camp "from alarming sources, including the People's Republic of China." Miss Reno refused Mr. Freeh's recommendation that an independent counsel run the case. Then the president made a mistake. In an offhand remark to the press, he claimed that had the FBI briefed the White House, he would have ensured that there was no "undue influence" involved. But as Mr. Freeh writes, two FBI agents had briefed Rand Beers, a senior...

Oh, let's cut right to the chase. Your primary interest in "My FBI," the memoir by the FBI director during the Clinton administration, is not drug-smuggling cases, however interesting they might be, or even the inspiring story of how a kid from Jersey became a star FBI street agent, a federal prosecutor, a federal district judge and, finally, FBI director. So proceed directly to page 245, "Bill and Me," which recounts Louis Freeh's side of the most interesting feud I've seen in Washington since LBJ squared off with Bobby Kennedy in the 1960s. There is a difference. At its core,...

The rancor between Louis Freeh and former President Bill Clinton, who appointed him director of the F.B.I. in 1993, was laid raw anew today as Mr. Freeh continued his assault on the Clinton administration's handling of terrorism, while a former presidential aide accused Mr. Freeh of an "astonishing string of failures that helped leave America vulnerable to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001." Mr. Freeh, appearing on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press" to promote a book he has written, repeated his assertion that the Clinton administration had failed to grasp the scope and severity of the threat of terrorism and had...

...Under pressure from Team Clinton, "60 Minutes" agreed to read a statement from convicted criminal Sandy Berger, Clinton's national security adviser, insisting that Freeh's account is flat-out wrong.... It's also a fact that he's [Clinton] remained close to the House of Saud: In 2002, he was paid $750,000 for a speaking tour there. The Saudis also flew the ex-president and an entourage of 40 guests to the kingdom for a 2003 visit.... And Clinton pointedly praised the Saudi government in his testimony to the 9/11 Commission. Freeh has made similar allegations before, in a 2001 article by Elsa Walsh in...

Freeh At Last By Oliver North October 14, 2005 President George W. Bush has more than three years to go before his second term in office is finished, yet these past few months have been instrumental in shaping the legacy by which he is likely to be remembered by historians. This week in Iraq, citizens will vote on a national referendum to approve a constitution and bring the Iraqi people another step closer to self governance. The stakes are high. As an intercepted al Qaeda communique revealed, it is the goal of radical Islamic jihadists to drive Americans out of...

In June of 2001 a Federal Grand Jury in Alexandria Virginia returned a 46 count indictment against fourteen individuals thought responsible for the June 25, 1996 bombing of the US Air Force housing complex, Building 131 at Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia. Five years earlier, on the day of the Khobar bombing, never missing an opportunity to role-play as the sensitive but tough Chief Executive, Clinton proved once again that the most dangerous place to be in DC during his presidency - aside from Ft. Marcy Park - was between himself and a television camera, in this instance tersely making...

"With Bill Clinton," Mr. Freeh writes in a chapter called "Bill and Me," "the scandals and rumored scandals, the incubating ones and the dying ones, never ended. Whatever moral compass the president was consulting, it was leading him in the wrong direction, and he lacked the discipline to pull back once he found himself stepping into trouble. Worse, he had been behaving that way so long that the closets were full of skeletons just waiting to burst out."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 - Settling a score, Louis J. Freeh, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation under President Bill Clinton and in the first six months of the Bush presidency, asserts in a new book that Richard A. Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism chief, was "basically a second-tier player" who had little access to power and was in no position to issue credible warnings in advance of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. "If he was rushing around the executive branch trying to make a case that we were in imminent danger of a...

Did former FBI director Louis Freeh tell the 9/11 Commission that he knew for a "fact" that ex-president Clinton solicited Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah for a big bucks donation to his presidential library after signaling he'd go easy on the Khobar Towers bombing probe? And if that information was shared with the Commission, why didn't they include that bombshell in their report? In his new book, "My FBI," Freeh says Clinton met with Abdullah to gain help with the Khobar probe, but "raised the subject only to tell the crown prince that he understood the Saudis' reluctance to cooperate and...

IN THE summer of 1998, as the Monica Lewinsky scandal closed in around him, Bill Clinton was hosting an official White House dinner when he told his guests he needed to visit the bathroom. Excusing himself, he left the table. But, unknown to his guests, he walked in humiliated fury not to the bathroom, but to the White House Map Room. Waiting for him were FBI doctors and a federal prosecutor, there to take his blood sample to see of it matched the DNA on Ms Lewinsky’s now infamous semen-stained dress. This extraordinary episode, which remained secret until yesterday, is...

Freeh. In the statement, Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger, Clinton's national security adviser, challenges Freeh's assertion that Clinton failed to press then-Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to cooperate with an investigation of the 1996 bombing of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, and used the occasion to ask for a contribution to his presidential library. The Saudis made such a donation last year -- six years after the 1998 meeting.
