><br>

> Amb. Chas Freeman, who Tuesday said that he no longer accepts an
offer <br>
> to chair the National Intelligence Council, has released a
statement <br>
> reading in part: "The tactics of the Israel Lobby plumb the depths
of <br>
> dishonor and indecency and include character assassination,
selective <br>
> misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the
fabrication of <br>
> falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth. The aim of this
<br>
> Lobby is control of the policy process through the exercise of a
veto <br>
> over the appointment of people who dispute the wisdom of its
views, <br>
> the substitution of political correctness for analysis, and the <br>
> exclusion of any and all options for decision by Americans and
our <br>
> government other than those that it favors." <br>

> McGovern was a CIA analyst for 27 years. He said today of
Freeman's <br>
> withdrawal: "It is unprecedented that pro-Israeli hawks were able
to <br>

fashion." <br>
> He just wrote a piece titled "Timidity Derails Obama Intel
Choice." <br>

> McGovern, with several other noted intelligence veterans, wrote in
a <br>
> letter to Director of National Intelligence Denis Blair on March
8: <br>
> "We are not surprised that many pundits and other public figures,
<br>
> aghast at the appointment of a senior intelligence official able
to <br>
> take a more balanced view of the Arab-Israel issue, have launched
a <br>
> strong campaign to derail the Freeman appointment. ... It will
surely <br>
> come as no surprise to you that, as DNI, you can expect to be on
the <br>
> receiving end of relentless, agenda-laden lobbying. Reaction to
the <br>
> Freeman appointment seems a harbinger of things to come." <br>

> Lobe just co-wrote the piece "Freeman Withdrawal Marks Victory
for <br>
> Israel Lobby." He said today: "This was a major test of the
[Obama <br>
> administration's] willingness to stand up to the so-called
'Israel <br>
> Lobby,' particularly the right-wing and neo-conservative
leadership <br>
> vanguard that carried out the public assault on Freeman’s record
and <br>
> character. It's pretty clear that, in this case -- which was a
very <br>
> important one -- Obama flunked. Nor was it only Obama. The fact
that, <br>
> in contrast to a very distinguished group of retired diplomats, <br>
> including former UN Amb. Thomas Pickering, no major Democratic <br>
> lawmaker was willing to speak out in defense of Freeman is as <br>
> remarkable as it is deplorable." <br>
