Freeh: Right Wing Groups Bigger Threat

World Net Daily ^ | Oct 7, '02 | Paul Sperry

[gatex]

Freeh made a vigorous defense of Lon Horiuchi, the FBI sniper that killed Vickie Weaver from ambush [neither the U.S. Marshals nor the FBI announced their presence ].

[Cicero]

Clinton and Reno were the forces behind this policy.

After OKC clinton used the FBI to help him blame the right wing militias and even the right wing talk show hosts as dangers to America. It helped clinton turn his flagging election campaign around and get re-elected.

The yes-men who went along with clinton's views in the FBI and CIA were promoted. Unfortunately, most of them are still in positions of power within the security agencies. Presumably they are the ones who release damaging leaks and continue to misdirect the FBI even now.

[Libloather]

Freeh in his 1999 testimony defined "right-wing groups" as "militias, white-separatist groups, anti-government groups," "tax protestors" and "anti-abortion" bombers.

He forgot all about the church burnings.

Is Osama and Sadam on the left - or the right?

[reg45]

How soon we forget about Ted Kaszinski (SP?), the mad LEFTIST bomber. He sure has dropped out of the public discussion of terrorism.

He is now a speechwriter for Al Gore.

[billhilly]

"Yes but he was "obsessed" with getting Bin Laden, right? The only things he was obsessed with were p#ssy and power."

Your comment is rich. A congressional member of his own party, and an Arkansan to boot, said privately that all Clinton was interested in was P#ssy and Pizza. That was, of course, before
the world found out about the carryout pizza delivered by Monica.

Is Osama and Sadam on the left - or the right?

It depends upon whether the the photo is from the front or the back.

...puked after seeing Frontline last week. The FBI could have done a job on terrorism... And Clinton let the ambassador pull the same guy off the Cole investigation...

AGREED!     At the risk of sounding like a repetitive Miss Cleo, I've got a "hunch" that x42's OKC little secret mandated the kabash be put on O'Neill's career and his investigations.

Hopefully Freeh's testimony will prove interesting.

[GhostofWCooper]

Those evil machines, they've put "Earth in the Lurch"...

I'd forgotten about algor's book. You're right, the Unibomber and Algor are cut from the same bolt of Red cloth....

[mfreddy]

I had not heard that. I'm hardly a prophet, all you had to do was look at the guy. I bet he even had that "come hither look" in his eyes when he did his Saturday radio address.

[henderson field]

Louis Freeh had at least one communist affiliation: he and agent Hansen were both members of Opus Dei. To him, the dangerous "right wing groups" were not people lurking out in the woods, but the American Legion and the Marine Corps League. That's how sick he was. It's a blessing that he's gone but he should be in jail.

[Paleo Conservative]

How soon we forget about Ted Kaszinski (SP?), the mad LEFTIST bomber.

Don't forget also the Weathermen and Puerto Rican terrorist some of whom were pardoned by Clinton.

"Freeh and his deputy Robert B. "Bear" Bryant moved counterterrorism analysts over to tracking "right-wing groups" and aiding in criminal prosecutions, agents have told WorldNetDaily. Intelligence-gathering on foreign threats suffered as a result. "Sept. 11 proved that plan didn't work," concurred Washington Times national-security reporter Bill Gertz in "Breakdown," his new book released in August. "It later came to light that headquarters ignored dedicated agents in the field who had flagged the suspicious activity of Middle Eastern men enrolled at U.S. flight schools." FBI agents knew the threat of homegrown terrorism from militias and other groups was not as serious as the growing threat of Islamic terrorism. Yet Freeh and Bryant – under the direction of Attorney General Janet Reno – made "right-wing" terrorism the centerpiece of their strategy to combat Y2K security threats. The strategy, called "Project Megiddo," zeroed in on white supremacists, militias and Christian "extremists." The project was outlined in a 32-page report that the FBI recently removed from its website. The fear of homegrown terrorism proved overdone. In fact, the only real terrorist threat in the new millennium came from an al-Qaida operative who tried to sneak into the U.S. from Canada with bombs to blow up Los Angeles International Airport. Critics say the bureau wasted valuable resources that could have been better spent hunting down Osama bin Laden and eradicating al-Qaida sleeper cells in the U.S."

Maybe it's time to change our handles..

[Fred Mertz]

Joining Freeh on tomorrow's witness panel are former Sen. Warren Rudman, R-N.H., Paul Pillar, national intelligence officer for the CIA's Northeast South Asia region, and Mary Jo White, former U.S. attorney in New York.

Will this be on C-Span?

[Doctor Stochastic]

The Patriot Act can be used against the "right" as easily as it can be used against the "left."

Good Lord, can't this pompous jerk just retire, already? I wonder how he plans on screwing the GOP this time?

[onedoug]

Huh?

[Howlin]

No wonder Freeh's been in hiding.

[The Great Satan]

It's time to deep-six the FBI and the CIA. They have long-since outlived their usefulness. Three thousand Americans were murdered last September 11 owing to their malfeasance, their obtuseness, their lard-ass bureaucratic ineptness, and their political correctness. They could have stopped it easily, but it was too much trouble, too much embarassment -- too many careers were on the line, too many past f***ups stood to be exposed. Their managemant needs to be publicly humiliated and put out to grass, pour encourager les autres. I only hope the new Office of Homeland Security is the start of something better, rather than a cover-up or another cluster-f**k. At this point, though, I don't have a lot of faith in the system. The terrorists' enablers -- Mueller, Tenet et al -- have been persitantly rewarded. I think Bush is too much of a back-slapper, too much of a pussy to do anything about it. Oh, well, I guess we'll have to live with the consequences.
