Louis Freeh and the Blame Game

Link
I watched the interview of former FBI director, Louis Freeh, on 60 Minutes last night. Freeh was being interviewed based upon his upcoming book titled, "MY FBI" which will be released next week. It was apparent that Freeh took no accountability nor responsibility for his time at the FBI and used the blame game to blame everyone from Clinton to Congress to special Whitewater investigator Ken Starr. Not once during the 20 minute piece did Freeh take any responsibility for what was wrong at the FBI. He blamed Congress for the allocation of his personnel, for the computer systems that were in bad shape and, former President Clinton, for all the investigations he felt compeled to investigate. He blamed Clinton for not asking the Saudi's to allow the FBI to talk to suspects and then said one call to former President Bush 41 got them in. None of this story seems to make Freeh look good. To the contrary, he looked diminished as a former FBI director and I would like to know when Freeh is going to get it. He could have quit his job/resigned, spoken out and told everyone he needed help or other avenues could have been pursued if he felt something was wrong. Instead, he acted like a little boy scout who sounded like he was led by his nose. The only accountability or ownership this man seems to want to claim is in the book title, "MY FBI". It is the only place he takes any accountability and responsibility for his time in charge of the FBI. The truth is he was in charge and failed miserably in his job. Looks like he is going to push this blame thing around for a while. Anyone who wants the real story on Freeh should read the 9/11 Commission report and his managing or lack thereof of the FBI! Maybe Freeh should have named the book, "THEIR FBI!"
