FREEH UNLOADS ON BUBBA-PART II

Freeh's interview with Mike Wallace was occasion for me to watch 60 Minutes for the first time in many a long year. Among the many interesting factoids: Bubba refused to ask the Saudis to allow the FBI access to the Khobar Towers bombing suspects, forcing Freeh to ask George H.W. Bush to intercede (he did and access was promptly granted) and Freeh's requests for vastly increased resources for counter-terrorism were routinely axed--leaving plenty for congressional Republicans and DOJ management at the time to answer for (Jamie Gorelick, care to comment?). Will definitely buy the book.
