WAY TO GO !Director of National Intelligence Dennis C. Blair announced today that Ambassador Charles W. Freeman Jr. has requested that his selection to be Chairman of the National Intelligence Council not proceed. Director Blair accepted Ambassador Freeman's decision with regret.
He had too much to hide. I won't go into the details here but this is a major victory for the good guys. The media and his supporters tried to pretend that the case against Charles Freeman Jr. being the key US intelligence analyst was that he was "anti-Israel." That's nonsense. Scores of people who fit that description have been nominated and put into high offices many times. The problem was that:
A. He was involved in business dealings with Saudi Arabia that can be called questionable.
B. The Middle East Policy Council which he managed has published extreme points of view.
C. Even former Secretary of State James Baker, hardly a pro-Israel activisit, thought Freeman was an apologist for the Saudis.
D. He said some pretty nasty stuff about China, where he also served and with which he also had some business dealings (he sort of congratulated the regime on crushing the dissidents with lots of bloodshed).
There was more, too, And obviously he pulled out lest more come out. (Only hours before it came out that his research center had received far more Saudi money than previously admitted by them.)
