"an Israel-bashing, Saudi apologist who shills for the butchers of Tiananmen Square . . ."

That would be Chas Freeman, the man the current President of the United States has picked to head the National Intelligence Council. As Andy McCarthy notes, “This is a post which will profoundly affect what intelligence Obama consumes and how it is framed.” And what have we got? “An Israel-bashing, Saudi apologist who shills for the butchers of Tiananmen Square.” Here he is in 2002:

[W]hat of America’s lack of introspection about September 11?Instead of asking what might have caused the attack, or questioning the propriety of the national response to it, there is an ugly mood of chauvinism. Before Americans call on others to examine themselves, we should examine ourselves.

Got that? One of the first duties of the Commander in Chief is to safeguard the physical integrity of the United States. He has just tapped as one of his chief intelligence lieutenants a man who has been bought and sold by the Saudis. (Remember the Saudis? Remember 9/11? Hijackers on American Airlines Flight 11: Mohamed Atta al Sayed (Egyptian), Waleed al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian), Wail al-Shehri (Saudi Arabian), Abdulaziz al-Omari (Saudi Arabian), Satam al-Suqami (Saudi Arabian).
