Finally a scapegoat to blame for 911? Why do I get feeling that I am being misdirected? How can Al Gore have created the internet and Louie Freeh been such a Luddite?

PBS Show Blames Clinton's FBI Director Freeh for 9/11

Bill Clinton's FBI director was so fearful of technology that he left America exposed to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, according to a documentary airing tonight on the pro-Democrat network PBS.

"If this 'National Georgraphic Special' is to be believed, then Louis Freeh must have been the biggest knucklehead ever to run the FBI," Adam Buckman writes in today's New York Post.

According to the program, one of his first orders upon taking over in 1993 was having the computer removed from his office. He was unfamiliar with e-mail and "was unconvinced that the bureau's outdated computer network would hamper the FBI's ability to close cases or prevent catastrophes."

"This documentary," Buckman writes, "actually goes so far as to suggest that Freeh's unwillingness to modernize the FBI's computers left the bureau and the nation unprepared for 9/11."
