Louis Freeh Pens Book: 'Investigating Clinton'
2005-06-15
Former FBI Director Louis Freeh has written a book detailing his career, including his eight years as head of the bureau during the Clinton administration - where he describes his frustration over the fact that Bill Clinton wouldn't take his warnings about the terrorist threat seriously.
Freeh's book - due out in October and titled "My FBI: Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton, and Waging War on Terror" - promises to be the first in-depth account by the nation's former top cop of his days presiding over FBI investigations into one Clinton scandal after another. According to publisher St. Martin's Press, "Freeh tells his story, from Catholic school to law school to U.S. district attorney to head of the FBI, where he battles his boss, Bill Clinton, and tries to make everyone wake up to the threat of terrorism." The former top lawman has previously complained about Clinton abuses of power in the Filegate and Chinagate scandals. He told the Wall Street Journal in 2002 that the Clinton administration had a cavalier attitude toward terrorism.
Boy, I can't wait till the "60 Minutes" interview with him about this book. Oh, you say it's about Clinton and not Bush? Never mind

#1  IIRC, Freeh's a world-class technophobe and the main reason why a lot of FBI personnel had Intel 386 PC's at their desks as late as 2000. Wonder how the hell he handled running out of ribbon for that 1912 typewriter of his? Or ya suppose he found a retired 70-year-old secretary who can still do shorthand?
