Louis Freeh
What is the deal with Louis Freeh? Is he just bitter or what? I am watching him on The Today Show. He is basically saying that Clinton ignored Al Quaeda and he was the only one who was centered on counter terrorism. And he was the only one 'pushing the Saudis' and Clinton was 'pushing his library'. WTF?

I was pretty impressed that Katie kept talking about how many people had said his book was a work of fiction.

1. Freeh is busy pushing his book.
That's why he is saying all of this stuff.

2. On 60 Minutes
60 Minutes has sure gone way downhill.
Having this ass on accomplished what?

God we need real investigative news, on TV.
I remember how 60 Minutes, years ago, was a show where you could get stories that were hard hitting and timely. It use to be like a short version of Frontline.
:mad:

16. I can't argue about what Wallace didn't ask and should have.
But Wallace gave the distinct impression he didn't believe a word Freeh said. He caught Freeh nicely about his claim he didn't have the proper resources. Freeh came across as a petty, mean, and vindictive liar. But that may be the way he is anyway.

4. He was too busy looking for semen stains
Louis Freeh took his marching orders from the GOP then, and he's back, lining his pockets to help them bail themselves out of the resultant global mess they created because Freeh's FBI was too busy worrying about Clinton's penis. He'll be paid handsomely out of the "missing" billions.

5. Freeh hated Bill Clinton...
so much he turned in his WH pass and thus didn't attend the numerous security meetings.Haven't read his book yet but it's a good bet it's another repuke rewrite of history.Freeh has the blood of many Americans on his hands.

7. Wasn't this sink scum the one who blocked John O'Neill's

8. Bush approval ratings are flagging.
Therefore, they must remind someone of the "horrors" of the 1990s (of which anyone in their right mind would kill to have back right about now).

People like this are SOOOO easy to manipulate (like *) have no place heading big federal agencies. Danger to national security and all that. We need people with healthy egos to run things.

Thomas Harris's whacked out FBI official in Hannibal seems to have a lot in common with Freeh, dont you think?

15. Freeh's an Opportunist--Plain & Simple, cuz Gettin' Clinton Apparently..
...IS a lucrative business that rich corporate executives and sleazy attorneys and their ilk use, and benefit from twofold: One for PROFIT (idiotlogues buy anything that ain't "Clinton-Friendly", and Two, rich Repubs who know better know this and it helps to whip up enough idiotlogue frenzy to make them vote for Repukes that keep the corps in power and the "little people" in their tiny places with each election.

I wonder sometimes if these less-affluent idiotlogues have any idea how disrespected, and (secretly) ridiculed they are by their wealthy masters...uh...I wonder if they can even read the "hate Clinton" books, or just buy 'em for the pictures.

Sorry that I have the tendency to demean these people (demeaning anyone is wholly against my true nature), but I just can't understand why they choose to remain ignorant about what's really going on in our current, and corrupt government while they have ample opportunity and access to information that should give 'em a clue by now.

17. The sad reality of this is that Clinton was caught up in the RW
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 09:32 AM by rasputin1952
attack syndrome, and was about to be impeached. If he had gone after al-Qaeda, it would have been seen as a "Wag the Dog" situation, and the RW maniacs would have been attacking him for that as well. So for the RW insanity of impeachment and trial, which served no other purpose than to embarrass Clinton, and the nation, we got stuck w/ 9-11. The attacks, essentially are the fault of the RW maniacs, and their obsession with a blow-job. Rather than allow Clinton to do what had to be done, they facilitated Osama and al-Qaeda...this is truth in it's most naked form. And it should be remembered that under Clinton, the FIRST WTC attackers were CAUGHT!!!!! More than I can say about Osama under the bush administration.
