Network played dirty pool with that Louis Freeh segment on 60 mins.

[The Backlash Cometh]

"60 Minutes' refusal to accept a surrogate in place of Clinton is inconsistent with the way the show handled a similar story about a book critical of President Bush. On March 21, 2004, 60 Minutes ran a segment about former National Security Council counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke's then-upcoming book, Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror (Free Press, March 2004). The segment included not only an exclusive interview with Clarke but also an interview with Bush administration National Security Council official Stephen Hadley, who was given time to defend Bush from Clarke's criticism.

1. Freeh's a filthy little incompetent,

and now he's willing to say and do anything to sell her book.

A total whore.

3. Someone needs to dig up the dirt on Louis Freeh.

This book is a poor excuse to cover-up his complicity in the Clinton Witch hunts. It's because of his spinelessness that the terrorist weren't investigated as much as they should have been prior to 9/11. If Freeh had information that could have hurt Clinton, he should have brought it up to Ken Starr who would have been more than happy to use it. But Freeh didn't do it when he had a chance to bury Clinton. Why?

6. freeh was so busy investigating clinton he let a real spy

in the fbi slip undetected for a very long time even though robert hansen sat next to him atthe same opus dei catholic church!

7. That's what I don't understand. EVERYONE knew that Louis Freeh

HATED Clinton. IF he had something on Clinton back then, WHY DID HE WAIT SO LONG to reveal it?

2. Unfair, under-handed, even biased? On 60 Minutes? Never! endSarcasm;

4. TDS

Freeh is going to be on The Daily Show next week. Jon is also going to have Bill O'Reilly. (WTF!)

5. Jon, oh please, Jon, speak for me.

Can you imagine if he ran for president?

.....Advance word on Arch-Failure Louis Freeh's new book apparently has Freeh complaining that it was hard for him to get anything done because Bill Clinton, the president and his nominal boss, was such a source of scandal and bad acts. Drudge quotes him saying: "The problem was with Bill Clinton -- the scandals and the rumored scandals, the incubating ones and the dying ones never ended. Whatever moral compass the president was consulting was leading him in the wrong direction. His closets were full of skeletons just waiting to burst out."

Aren't there some logical problems with this excuse making? How is it that Bill Clinton was such a bad actor that Freeh couldn't get anything else done because he had to spend so much investigating him and yet Freeh never caught him doing anything? Which of Clinton's associates did Freeh indict?

...Either Freeh is just as big a buck-passer and liar as we think or he is a self-confessed incompetent. It's genuinely funny. Even if you want to consider Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky as a legitimate legal bad act, Freeh didn't have anything to do with catching him on that one. Give the credit where it's due: that was the work of Republican political operatives.

Can't Freeh keep himself busy as chief bill collector for the credit card companies?

Now Louis Freeh is "Chief Bill Collector" at MBNA. Why does Freeh hate America?
