Klein: No 9-11 If Only Clinton âHad Been Free to Fire Freehâ?
EFL from MRC
9-11 Ken Starrâs fault? On NBCâs Meet the Press, after endorsing Bill Clintonâs disgust for Ken Starr (âHe makes a very strong case for Starrâs abuse of powerâ) and agreeing with Clintonâs view of himself more as victim than perpetrator (âMy feeling is, that in the end on all this stuff heâs more sinned against than sinnerâ), Time magazineâs Joe Klein gave credibility to Clintonâs claim that but for the Lewinsky scandal Clinton would have fired FBI Director Louis Freeh, who had proven incompetent in the battle against terrorism. Klein suggested âwe might have had a better shot at rolling up those al-Qaeda cells if Bill Clinton had been free to fire Freeh.â
