"A prominent psychologist ousted from the leadership of the the US’s largest professional psychological association for his alleged role in enabling and covering up torture has enlisted a former FBI director to fight back.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Louis J Freeh, Bill Clinton’s FBI director, rejected an independent report begrudgingly embraced by the American Psychological Association (APA) as a politicized smear job."

I'm not sure why, but this sounds very familiar.
 
In the statement, Freeh does not offer any specific denials of the facts Hoffman marshalled. Instead, he portrays the APA as complicit, self-servingly sacrificing Behnke as a convenient scapegoat. Freeh’s statement does not use the word “torture”. Ha. Who needs facts?
 
Unreal that the media won't just call Freeh out for what he is.

We live in an extremely lazy society where people see "former FBI director" and automatically assume that === legitimate. To realize that Freeh is nothing more than a hired gun would require more effort than the majority of people are willing and/or able to muster. As for the media, if it can't be explained in 140 characters, then most don't care to report it.

He was even a hired gun as an FBI director. The linked story calls him "Clinton's FBI Director." That is only technically correct.

Clinton saw a leaderless FBI and felt it was important for the FBI to have a Director. However, none of his top picks for the job stood a chance of being approved by Congress. He picked Freeh as a compromose with the R side of the aisle to assure that the FBI would get a Director.

On his first day on the job, Freeh plopped down in the Director's chair seething with hate for Clinton...the guy who had agreed to let him be FBI Director. For the love of all things good, who starts a new job seething with hate for the one guy who made sure he got the job?

There is something pathologically wrong with Freeh. And, it is indeed odd that the so-called liberal American press seems unwilling to go after the guy. Thankfully, this international news site has no such qualms.

Clinton has said that in retrospect the biggest mistake he made as president was hiring Freeh.

Of course the brother of the torturer is managing director of One of Freeh's firms. Sounds unbiased...

BURYING THE LEAD: "A John D Behnke, who appears to be his[Dr. Stephen Behnke's] brother, served as a long-time and distinguished FBI agent before joining Freeh’s risk-management firm as a managing director. " This is in the LAST paragraph?? Freeh has a private firm run by the BROTHER of the torture/'ethicist'?? WHY does the Guardian give Freeh so much (credible) space to rant against the report-- under those circumstances? Shoddy, if not disturbing.

Why anyone views Freeh as legitimate at this point is beyond me. I now look an anyone who hires him through a different set of eyes and the view is not pretty or honorable.
