Freeh's Self-Whitewash

By John Podesta

Sunday, October 16, 2005

During his tenure as director of the FBI, Louis Freeh presided over a series of blunders and failures that brought the bureau to a low point in its history. From the embarrassment of the Russian mole Robert Hanssen to the bungling of the Wen Ho Lee investigation to the wasting of hundreds of millions of dollars in a failed attempt to build a modern, computerized case management system, the bureau under Freeh's leadership stumbled from one blunder to the next, with little or no accountability. The nadir, as the nation knows too well, was reached in the astonishing string of failures that helped leave America vulnerable to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

In the face of this record, Freeh has now published "My FBI," a book distinguished by its shameless buck-passing. Nothing, it seems, was ever Louis Freeh's fault.

Why so mad, John? Why you 9/11 signalling, John? What's up, John?


Hmmm... So, right next to Foxstone Park, we have Westwood Country Club(Vienna, VA)... Looking up Westwood Country Club on wiki:

Westwood Country Club is a country club in Westwood, Missouri, in central St. Louis County, Missouri.

Westwood Country Club is one of the top two elite St. Louis area country clubs, being the historically Jewish counterpart to the WASP St. Louis Country Club, and, with Old Warson Country Club and Bellerive Country Club, one of the "big four" elite St. Louis clubs.[1] Membership is about 650 families, mostly (although no longer entirely) Jewish.[2]~~

Bellerive Country Club

Bellerive Country Club is a golf country club in the central United States, located in Town and Country, Missouri, a suburb west of St. Louis. With the Old Warson, Westwood, and St. Louis country clubs, it is considered one of the "big four" old-line elite St. Louis clubs.[2] The course has hosted two major championships: the U.S. Open in 1965 and the PGA Championship in 1992. A third, the 100th PGA Championship, is scheduled for 2018.

History

~~

Current location

~~The 1999 U.S. Mid-Amateur was held at Old Warson, and Bellerive was used in the 36-hole stroke play qualifying portion. In 2001, the course was ready for the WGC-American Express Championship in mid-September, but it was cancelled after the September 11 attacks,[5] which occurred during the Tuesday practice round. The U.S. Senior Open, a senior major, was held at the course in 2004 and won by Peter Jacobsen.[6][7][8]~~


From history of Westwood Country Club(Vienna, VA):

In the February 1965 Westwood Ho!, an article strongly encourages the course Marshall to improve the speed of play. "The objective is 18 relaxed holes in 4 1/2 hours." Later that year, after lambasting the USGA for extending the US Open to 72 holes over four days, Claude got on to his fellow members. The club championship final match was postponed due to wet conditions. Claude wrote: "We think that this action was not only not golf -- it was almost symptomatic of the softness that has crept into our American version of the game". Not sparing even kids, he noted "Westwood's Juniors…Individual records…16-17 year-olds (real names used) played No. 1 in two matches, lost twice"…Claude definitely did not feel our pain.

72

From Westwood Country Club(Westwood, Missouri) wiki:

The par-72 18-hole golf course was designed by Harold Paddock and built in 1928.[3][4] The course was more recently renovated under the direction of golf architect Keith Foster.[5][6] There are four Har-Tru and six Deco Turf tennis courts and an Olympic-size swimming pool.[citation needed]

@The_Real_Wahrheit: >Hanssen attended Knox College. That was Podesta's alma mater too, wasn't it?


@new4now: >Freeh was the guy who did the Sandusky investigation at Penn State for the FBI

Penn State child sex abuse scandal

The Board of Trustees commissioned an independent investigation by former FBI director Louis Freeh and his law firm. The Freeh Report stated that Spanier and Paterno, along with Curley and school vice president Gary Schultz, had known about allegations of child abuse on Sandusky's part as early as 1998, and were complicit in failing to disclose them. Freeh found a "total and consistent disregard by the most senior leaders at Penn State for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims", which "empowered" Sandusky to continue his abuse.[8]:14[9][10]

Would have to look up, but remember he was part of the cover up of more people involved

I don't remember the details off the top of my head either.

You're correct, by the way.

Here's this for reading material: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_State_child_sex_abuse_scandal
