Louis Freeh is a bagman for the establishment. He was hired to cover up, not investigate.

To make a point. I hope everyone does it: If Wikipedia Jimmy Wales’ threat to turn off the crowd-sourced encyclopedia to protest the Stop Internet Piracy Act (SOPA) sent you into a cold sweat, you won’t welcome this news. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Zynga — and oh sweet baby Jesus no! — Etsy, along with other Internet-based companies take a “nuclear option” and “go simultaneously dark” in protest of the bill, and to “highlight the fundamental danger the legislation poses [...]

At least it can’t happen here. Right? Iran is mounting new clampdowns on Internet expression, including rules that will impose layers of surveillance in the country’s popular Internet cafes, as Tehran’s political establishment comes under increasing strains from economic turmoil and threats of more international sanctions. In the most sweeping move, Iran issued regulations giving Internet cafes 15 days to install security cameras, start collecting detailed personal information on customers and document users’ online footprints. Until now, Iran’s cybercafes have [...]

But I wanted to turn to one last clip.

I couldn’t begin to count how many Catholic schools have already closed in Philadelphia over the last 20 years, and now the relative few that are left are on the chopping block. I’m not fond of the Catholic church, to say the least, and they’ve lost a lot of local support since the sex scandals. One could well argue that the church is abandoning its core mission of educating the inner cities in order to pay their legal bills, but [...]

Scott Walker – were charged Thursday with felonies as part of the ongoing John Doe investigation into Walker staffers. Tim Russell, a longtime Walker campaign and county staffer, was charged with two felonies and one misdemeanor count of embezzlement. One source said the charges are tied to Operation Freedom, an annual military appreciation day held [...]

If I still lived there, I would have gone to his wake – just to make sure he was dead. This GOP boss successfully kept democracy out of the county, and corruption in the drivers seat for a very long time. “He was for people, not against people, and that is a model for all of us to live by,” O’Brien said. “We need leaders today who stand up for the little guy.” Oh, the lies people tell about dead [...]

I’ve wondered about Freeh’s time at the FBI. The spy Hansen was shuffled off quickly. Then 9/11 was ‘no one could anticipate.’ even though their own agents sent warnings. I also think he did his best to undermine Reno and Clinton.
