	Louis Freeh - FBI Director 1993-2001
		Louis Freeh was born on January 6, 1950 with the Sun in the authoritative, bureaucratically-savvy sign of Capricorn (at 10:30 am in Jersey City, NJ according to his birth certificate).
		Freeh, who is set to leave the bureau next month after announcing his resignation on May 1, said one of the biggest areas of concern at the FBI was the large number of young, inexperienced agents.
		Freeh was a beacon in the swamp that was the Clinton administration.

	Judging Louis Freeh - Salon
		Freeh was expert in political survival, some say, forging an alliance with top Republicans after he'd turned against the president who appointed him.
		Freeh did speak publicly over the Memorial Day weekend, but it was a decidedly low-key affair at the Camden, Maine, public library for a small forum on the ethics of war.
		It was Louis Freeh's team in place when the [9/11] terrorists were setting up their infrastructure and exploiting the system.

		Louis Freeh, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, was visiting relatives in New Jersey when he was told about the bombing, and he immediately dispatched a hundred and twenty-five agents and employees to Saudi Arabia.
		Freeh is actively involved in the daily routine of raising them, and nearly everyone I spoke to had a story about catching Freeh in the middle of diapering a baby or bathing a child.
		Freeh told Berger that he was looking into whether the United States could take testimony in Saudi Arabia for a grand jury in the States; it was a novel legal concept, and the Saudis had not yet agreed to it.

	Judging Louis Freeh - Salon
		Freeh came to the job in 1993 with a reputation as straight arrow.
		A native of Jersey City, N.J., Freeh is a devout Catholic and the father of six, a former FBI agent, and a federal judge in the Southern District of New York.
		Suddenly Freeh, now referred to by Safire as a "former Federal judge," was a "grim" stand-up guy, and also "the man best in a position to know" how to conduct Clinton scandal investigations fairly.

		Freeh goes into fascinating detail when describing the FBI's work on the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia-the most damning thing he has to say about Clinton is that Clinton didn't push for the prosecution of the bombers.
		Freeh's recounting of his work as an FBI agent in 1970s, when his team helped eviscerate the power of the Italian mafia in New York, is similarly generous with details.
		Louis Freeh led the Federal Bureau of Investigation from 1993 to 2001, through some of the most tumultuous times in its long history.

	CNN.com - FBI director Louis Freeh testifies on Wen Ho Lee case - September 26, 2000
		WASHINGTON (CNN)-- FBI Director Louis Freeh began testifying Tuesday on the evidence the government would have presented against nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee had the case gone to trial.
		Freeh's statement to a congressional hearing being held on Capitol Hill is expected to review activities by Lee, dating back more than a decade, which raised suspicions among law enforcement officials.
		Freeh also will describe how the FBI began a preliminary investigation of Lee in 1994, after it became known that he had an alleged relationship with the head of China's nuclear weapons design program and did not report the relationship.

	WorldNetDaily: The last case of Louis Freeh
		Freeh, who recently announced that he would be leaving his post as FBI director in June, told Walsh -- whose report is well documented and admirably cool in tone -- "The only unfinished piece of business that I have is the one you're writing about."
		Freeh, it seems, came to believe the Clinton administration was afraid that pressing too hard would jeopardize its strategic relationships in the Middle East.
		Armed with this information Freeh took the highly and singularly unorthodox step of contacting former President George H.W. Bush on his own, without informing the Clinton administration officials of his initiative, asking the former commander in chief to intervene personally with the Saudi royal family to ask for greater cooperation.

	Louis Freeh: a mixed legacy -- not easily pigeonholed
		Trying to make a dispassionate assessment of Louis Freeh's stormy tenure as FBI director is not something for those who lack an appreciation for varying shades of gray.
		As FBI director, Freeh was repulsed by the Clinton administration's non-response to the terrorist bombing of the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 Americans.
		Louis Freeh goes out of his way to praise President George W. Bush "under whom I was FBI Director for five months, it was a pleasure to serve a president of honor and integrity, just like his father."

		RAY SUAREZ: With me now to discuss Louis Freeh and the highs and lows of his career as FBI Director are Kris Kolesnik, former investigator for the Judiciary Committee; he is now executive director of the National Whistleblowers Center.
		As George Tenet, who was the CIA director, said, you can see all of Louis Freeh's values on his sleeve in the Khobar case, the tenacity, the determination, the empathy for the families, the sort of unwillingness to give up.

	LOUIS FREEH, CLINTON'S FBI CHIEF DENIES 9-11 WAS HIS FAULT
		Disastrous former Clinton FBI Director Louis Freeh denied today before a congressional panel that the bureau was lax in fighting terrorism before the Sept. 11 attacks.
		But Freeh handled the FBI for eight years before 9/11, and it was his primary duty to protect America from such terrorists, especially ones who spent years within our borders preparing their dastardly deeds.
		Freeh, who stepped down in June 2001 after eight years heading the FBI, rejected some of the key points made by inquiry staff: that the bureau was more focused on prosecuting terrorists than preventing attacks and that the CIA and FBI have not cooperated in fighting terrorists.

	CNN.com - Former FBI director: Clinton undermined Saudi bombing probe - Oct 10, 2005
		Freeh is promoting a new memoir, "My FBI: Bringing Down the Mafia, Investigating Bill Clinton and Waging War on Terror." He said his Khobar Towers investigation pointed to Iran, but said the probe was derailed by Clinton's desire to improve relations with the reformist Iranian government elected in 1997.
		Clinton named Freeh, a former FBI agent and federal judge, to lead the bureau in 1993 after the fiery raid that ended the Branch Davidian standoff in Waco, Texas.
		In his book, Freeh writes that he realized the United States was in a global war with terrorists after the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and responses to terrorist attacks in the 1990s were inadequate.

		Louis Freeh served as director of the FBI from 1993 until 2001.
		Freeh says the most delicate and unsavory of the investigations was the Lewinsky affair, when the FBI needed to obtain a blood sample from the president to match the DNA on the infamous blue dress.
		Freeh also says he was determined to stay on as FBI director until President Clinton left office so that Clinton could not appoint his successor.

	Freeh at Last; The former FBI director uncovers (and defends) the agencyâs pre-9/11 incompetence. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		Freeh at Last; The former FBI director uncovers (and defends) the agencyâs pre-9/11 incompetence.
		Freeh's testimony to the Joint Intelligence Committees, though clearly intended as a defense of the FBI, actually confirmed that the bureau must indeed bear much of the blame for 9/11.
		I would also be willing to bet that huge amounts of money given to Freeh by Congress to fight terrorism was probably diverted by Freeh to many of his political cronies at the FBI in the form of bonuses and his cronies in the private sector in the form of government contracts.

		LOUIS FREEH: I think we have to be extremely diligent and conscious about a culture which I do think existed at one point, maybe when I was a young agent in 1975, where FBI agents and perhaps the institution tended to think of themselves as the best, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

	CNN.com - FBI Director Louis Freeh leaving in June - May 1, 2001
		Freeh, appointed by President Clinton in 1993, had been asked to stay by President-elect Bush during the transition between the Clinton and Bush administrations.
		Freeh had four children -- all boys -- when he took the helm of the FBI in 1993, and now has six sons.
		Freeh's tenure at the FBI encompassed almost all of the legal controversies of the Clinton administration, and he occasionally clashed with Clinton's attorney general, Janet Reno, on issues -- particularly when Reno chose in 1997 not to appoint an independent counsel to investigate the Democratic Party's 1996 fund-raising practices.

		Freeh, a career public servant with six young sons, no savings and a puritanical bent, alternately denied and encouraged rumors that he was just waiting out First Bad Boy Bill Clinton before he pulled up stakes and moved north.
		And Freeh let it be known that, no, he will not become a fancy partner in some white-shoe Manhattan law firm, but that he intends to serve out his 10-year term, which ends in 2003.
		Freeh was persona non grata around the Clinton White house for his support of an independent counsel on campaign fund-raising and his aggressive cultivation of Senate Judiciary chairman Orrin Hatch and other key Republican leaders.

	FBI Director Louis Freeh - By David Plotz - Slate Magazine
		Freeh was also enraged by White House behavior: He reportedly felt the administration had embarrassed the bureau with Filegate and was disgusted by Clinton's sleazy fund raising and sleazier adultery.
		Freeh wrote a private memo urging Reno to appoint an independent counsel to investigate the fund raising.
		Freeh expected to use his tenure as director of the FBI as a springboard to a Supreme Court nomination.

	FBI Director Louis Freeh Must Go!
		The answer may lie in FBI Director Louis Freeh's policy of working with the Russians for the last several years, and turning the bureau's attention to global and U.N. issues that have spread its resources thin.
		Under Freeh, the FBI has opened numerous offices abroad, including a Legal Attache office in Moscow, and has supplied dozens of FBI agents to assist the United Nations in dubious "war crimes" investigations.
		Louis Freeh has made the FBI into a laughing stock.

		Freeh's feckless and unfortunate tenure was a bipartisan blunder of immense and perhaps tragic proportions.
		Firing Freeh, however, was never politically possible because of the FBI's involvement in the various investigations of the Clinton White House.
		If congressional Republicans started attacking Freeh today, they would have to admit that they shortchanged their oversight responsibilities while he was in office because they were such fans of his endless Clinton-bashing.
