The 9/11 Commission Conspiracy Grows
If former FBI Director Louis Freeh can be taken at face value, here is another bombshell that Keane, Hamilton & Co. "conveniently" omitted from their fish-wrapper of a final report:
Besides, it's not as if the "commissioners" were hot on the Khobar/Saudi trail anyway; which is highly suspicious, since Freeh, at least prior to his "commission" testimony, had made no secret of his frustration with Clinton's lack of cooperation in the FBI's investigation of the Khobar Towers attacks:
Looks pretty damning, doesn't it? Bill Clinton, hindering an anti-terror investigation of an Iranian-sponsored al Qaeda attack; Bill Clinton, subordinating U.S. national security to his own personal enrichment from the coffers of one of al Qaeda's bankrollers. Sounds eerily reminiscent of the Chinagate scandal, another episode in which Mr. Bill auctioned off American national security to the wrong bidder.
The fatally compromised 9/11 Commission "neglecting" to query Freeh about the Khobar bribe would be scandalous enough, and further evidence that that "august" body was nothing but a coverup of the Clinton administration's criminal negligence in allowing Osama bin Laden to rise to the level of major national security threat. If, however, it did come up in non-public testimony, and they didn't deem it "relevant," that bunch, as Newsmax opined, "will have completely and thoroughly discredited its own investigation into America's worst disaster. And Congress needs to launch a full blown probe into both the cover-up and the explosive new charges by Mr. Freeh."
Able Danger, in other words, was just the appetizer.
In the "humorous if it weren't so deadly serious" style that the post-White House Clinton machine has long since perfected, Clintonoid "operatives" pulled rank on the ever-helpful 60 Minutes shop to allow them to try and rebut the Freeh allegations that aired in a segment on last night's installment. Their choice for this exercise in parody? Convicted national security document thief and Hillary's Secretary of State-in-waiting, Samuel R. "Sandy" Bergalar, the man who, a whole two days after being sentenced to two years probation and a $50,000 fine on September 8th, was busted for reckless driving, a Class 1 misdemeanor in Virginia that carries a penalty of up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine as well as violating his probation.
But, hey, you can trust this man, right? I mean, if he could get that used car up to 88 mph in a 55mph zone, wouldn't you buy it from him - or anything else he was selling?
Well, wouldncha?
Did former FBI director Louis Freeh tell the 9/11 Commission that he knew for a "fact" that ex-president Clinton solicited Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah for a big bucks donation to his presidential library after signaling he'd go easy on the Khobar Towers bombing probe?...Yeah - in his book, a year and a half after his testimony before the 9/11 Commission, when the revelation could have done a tremendous public service instead of just lining Freeh's pockets.
In his new book, My FBI, Freeh says Clinton met with Abdullah to gain help with the Khobar probe, but "raised the subject only to tell the crown prince that he understood the Saudis' reluctance to cooperate and then he hit Abdullah up for a contribution to the Clinton Presidential Library. That's a fact that I am reporting."
Besides, it's not as if the "commissioners" were hot on the Khobar/Saudi trail anyway; which is highly suspicious, since Freeh, at least prior to his "commission" testimony, had made no secret of his frustration with Clinton's lack of cooperation in the FBI's investigation of the Khobar Towers attacks:
Writing in the Wall Street Journal in May 2003, Freeh charged that the Clinton White House was either "unable or unwilling to help the FBI" gain access to key witnesses in the Khobar case.
"After months of inaction, I finally turned to the former President Bush, who immediately interceded with Crown Prince Abdullah on the FBI's behalf," Freeh revealed.
"Mr. Bush personally asked the Saudis to let the FBI do one-on-one interviews of the detained Khobar bombers. The Saudis immediately acceded."
