Reply #38: So how does Freeh explain his 9-11 activities ?

[EVDebs]

I mean with John O'Neill and the first WTC bombing in '93 and thereafter ? Didn't Freeh remove O'Neill from Yemen ? Does 60 Minutes ask about this tonite ?

"Freeh was initially optimistic that the Saudis would coöperate, but O'Neill became increasingly frustrated, and eventually a rift seems to have developed between the two men. "John started telling Louis things Louis didn't want to hear," Clarke said. "John told me that, after one of the many trips he and Freeh took to the Mideast to get better coöperation from the Saudis, they boarded the Gulfstream to come home and Freeh says, 'Wasn't that a great trip? I think they're really going to help us.' And John says, 'You've got to be kidding. They didn't give us anything. They were just shining sunshine up your ass.' For the next twelve hours, Freeh didn't say another word to him."

Freeh apparently liked the Saudi 'sunshine' he had blown up his posterior.
