Speech by Amb. Chas W. Freeman at MIT, Dec. 12, 2013
Freeman is one of the best and brightest. Read the speech and see why his tenure in 2009 as Deputy Director of National Intelligence/Director of the National Intelligence Council was unusually short – five hours! The Israel Lobby got the White House to “un-appoint” him because of his bad knees (he could not jerk them quickly enough at the word “Israel”).
