A Year and a Half Too Late

Ex-FBI Director Louis Freeh has written a book:

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."

This expose certainly won't mitigate the Maalox requests at the Hillary campaign, but would I be remiss in asking where this sort of book was a year ago when the Democrats were exploiting the public 9/11 commission hearings to try and blame the 9/11 attacks on George W. Bush? Sure would have come in handy to have Freeh and his book to counter ol' Dick Clarke and what might be dubbed his "selective Mark Felt-ism."

Better late than never, I suppose. But in this case late and never aren't distant neighbors.
