A little whine with your sleaze?

Oh please, let me be on his jury.

What a self serving CYA example of animalus bureaucratus!

"However, Eleanor Hill, staff director of the joint congressional investigation, noted that intelligence agencies "did not fully learn the lessons of past attacks," dating back to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Although the FBI focused more on terrorism starting in the 1990s, it did not make the changes necessary to adequately fight terrorism in the United States, she charged.

Just think of how many real terrorists, spies and other subversives got into this country while FBI men under Freeh wasted time tracking fertilizer sales.

'Beyond the Competence'

Simply telling the truth seems to be 'Beyond the Competence' of much of the Freeh FBI...

TXnMA (No Longer!!!)

Also today, Judicial Watch predicted that Freeh's attempt to duck responsibility would fail.

I'd like to know why Freeh left two years before his term was up; and for his children doesn't count.

He cited laws handcuffing the FBI's ability to stop terrorists. "Many of those restrictions were changed after the attacks," the Associated Press reported.

Handcuffing the FBI's ability...Louie sure knows how to turn a phrase... too bad Vicky Weaver & her son Sammy and the kids at Mt. Carmel werent saved by those same handcuffs.

I would hope that they have learned not to build a bomb for terrorists and then let them go detonate it. That was sort of counterproductive, I think, but what do I know? If they didn't learn not to help terrorists commit an act of terror so that they could bust them, then there's no hope for such a gang of ninnies.

"Al-Qaeda type organizations, state sponsors of terrorism like Iran and the threats they pose to America are beyond the competence of the FBI and the CIA to address," he said. The FBI didn't have enough people or money to fight terrorism, he insisted. "To win a war, it takes soldiers."

So I guess we're supposed to just give up because fighting them is just beyond us. Also, it wasn't his job to win a war with soldiers. It WAS his job to expose the threat and the criminals.

He had a virtual army in NC for well over a year to search for what'shisname Rudolph for the abortion center bombing. Yeah, Rudolph needed to be caught and tried, but that clearly isn't what they were doing there because Rudolph had very obviously either died or moved on. Yet Freeh wasted resources there and ignored real threats to the country and the citizenry.
