Ex FBI Head Louis Freeh Charges 9/11 Commission Cover-Up! (WSJ)

[democraticinsurgent]

From the WSJ via Newsmax (ugh) comes this peculiarly hopeful news. Fresh from his Clinton-bashing book, Freeh now is tackling the 9/11 Commission, in hopes of pinning the whole deal on Clinton. Which of course is hilarious...be careful what you wish for, Louis baby. This could be huge!


Louis Freeh Charges 9/11 Commission Cover-Up

Former FBI Director Louis J. Freeh slammed the 9/11 Commission Thursday saying it ignored – or "summarily rejected" – the most critical piece of intelligence that could have prevented the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal's opinion page, Freeh gave a blistering review of the Commission and says new revelations indicate it is "a good time for the country to make some assessments of the 9/11 Commission itself."

Freeh maintains that the Able Danger intelligence, if confirmed, is "undoubtedly the most relevant fact of the entire post-9/11 inquiry . . . Yet the 9/11 Commission inexplicably concluded that it "was not historically significant."

Though Freeh never blames any Clinton administration officials by name, responsibility for the intelligence failure would squarely fall on the Clinton administration as Able Danger's information was uncovered before George Bush became president.

1. Freeh should also talk about the WAMY investigation...

and how the FBI was told by the administration to step away from the bin Ladens and WAMY trough field order 199-i WF 213 589. 199 and other obstructions.

The FBI had wayyyy enough information to act upon, but key bureaucratic chokepoints decided not to.

3. So sorry NewsMax

Though Freeh never blames any Clinton administration officials by name, responsibility for the intelligence failure would squarely fall on the Clinton administration as Able Danger's information was uncovered before George Bush became president.

That's not exactly correct NewsMax, that intelligence failure is a result of Schoomaker not telling Clinton and Clarke about ABLE DANGER. And Zelikow not telling the 9/11 Commission. Check out Schoomaker see what he's up to now, maybe you could ask him a few questions before you print crap in your paper.

4. I think it's actually from WSJ

I hated to post something from Newsmax but WSJ is pay site. I think they just reran the WSJ article verbatim. Of course the WSJ is not exactly open minded when it comes to politics.

I just really enjoy the sublime irony of Freeh, of all people, going after the 9/11 commission. Of course it's a huge coverup. But what under Freeh's supervision got covered up? John O'Neill..Colleen Rowley..Sibel Edmonds...

How can Freeh really want this investigation reopened?
