-Caveat Lector-
{{Bill O'Reilly is going to ask about the FBI why the bureau did not
cooperate with the State of Al in prosecuting the co-conspirators in the
16th St. church Bombing for forty years. I hope he will also delve into how
the FBI claimed to have all manner of details of the actual construction of
the bomb in 1977 in prosecuting Chambliss (now deceased) and now contends it
did not have ANY such information and in fact, it could not have been
known. I shall follow this with great interest.
Regarding the following article, what a strange government we have had with
the president and Director of the FBI not speaking for four years. Maybe
the Director knows some things that we do not, as if we do not know enough.

FBI Director Shares Evidence With Bush on 1996 Bombing Attack
Monday, May 07, 2001
NEW YORK - FBI Director Louis Freeh has given the Bush administration a
list of people he believes the United States should indict in the 1996
bombing that killed 19 American servicemen in Saudi Arabia, according to a
published report.
Freeh, who announced last week that he will retire in June, recently briefed
President Bush on case, The New Yorker reports, and told the magazine that
the it is "the only unfinished piece of business that I have."
The U.S. airmen were killed when a truck bomb exploded outside the Khobar
Towers, their military housing complex near Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
Iran initially was believed to have been involved. Saudi Arabia has yet to
disclose its findings in an investigation carried out jointly with the FBI.
The report said any indictments are likely to name Iranian government
officials.
The president's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, said Sunday
that she could not comment on "legal and judicial matters that are under
review at the Justice Department."
Rice did say on ABC's This Week that "right now, Iran is one of the most
active countries in terrorism, for instance, in the Middle East. ... Iran
has not renounced terrorism. In fact, it promotes it around the world."
Freeh, who was appointed by President Clinton, sought help from the first
President Bush because the FBI director believed the Clinton administration
feared risking its Middle East policy by pressing the case too hard, the
magazine reported.
Bush, who waged the Gulf War, apparently did intercede with the Saudi royal
family to seek greater cooperation from the Saudi government, but it's not
known to what extent.
"I don't want to get into details of that," Freeh told The New Yorker.
FBI agents eventually were able to watch and listen as Saudi authorities
posed 212 questions from the FBI to eight suspects.
Sandy Berger, Clinton's national security adviser, was quoted as saying, "In
every way we were asked to do and ways we were not asked to do we pressed
the Saudis. Does that mean we weren't trying to make some outreach to Iran?
No. There are two governments in Iran, and our fundamental policy was to try
to support and strengthen the reformists ... so there would be no more
Khobars."
