``It's not only unusual but unprofessional for anybody in the FBI to be taking on the president this way through the media,'' Kessler said in an interview...

Freeh ``didn't involve himself in terrorism in any serious way,'' Benjamin said in an interview. ``I don't think we ever heard from Louis Freeh.''...

1. Interesting what Paul Weyrich wrote about Freeh.....

in January 2001. Titled "Should Bush settle for Freeh?"
"Why, many of us asked ourselves, would Bush want to retain the services of someone who operates in this fashion. Moreover, Reed Irvine of Accuracy in Media, has extensively interviewed retired FBI agents who had major responsibilities in the department. They are highly critical of the damage that Freeh has done to intelligence gathering, to morale and to the shield which usually kept the FBI away from politics. These highly respected agents all but accuse Freeh of destroying the FBI."

And everyone knows that Weyrich was no friend of Clintons.
