Today on Meet the Press, former FBI Director, stallwart Republican, and born again Clinton detractor Louis Freeh slipped this bit into is anti-Clinton book promo schpiel:

The New Yorker magazine article, which was in the spring of 2001, actually corroborates the one part of the story which is that the president didn’t seriously or vigorously persecute the request, the request being to get FBI agents into the prison in Saudi Arabia to talk to detainees who would ultimately tell us that the Iranian government was responsible for this attack. …

three of the detainees who had actually performed the bombing–these are members of the Saudi Hezbollah, which is an agent of the Iranian government. …

When I finally came back to Sandy Berger and told him we now had evidence that the Iranian government had murdered 19 Americans–killed, wounded over 300, his first reaction was, “Who knows about this?” And his second reaction was “Well, that’s hearsay.” This was an administration that was not interested in finding out that the Iranian government had blowed up–had blown up Khobar Towers.

Don’t worry about it. Tim raked him over the coals. The thing that jumps out at me is this. Is anyone going to take notice of this accusation in light of the Iraq War??!! A former FBI Director, and Rebublican hack is shifting attention away from the shinking ship of state with the age old NeoCon strategy - blame Clinton. In so doing, he’s claiming proof that Iran was involved with Khobar!!!! Freeh stayed on under Bush. Did he bring this up on September 12th, when planning for Iraq was already under way?
