CHAS FREEMAN IS OUT

The man who would be spokesperson for Saudi Arabia and communist China has declined the position offered to him on the National Intelligence Council (Hat tip: Yid With Lid and The Jawa Report). That's very good, because Freeman was a real blame-the-victim type, and he even said:

What 9/11 showed is that if we bomb people, they bomb back.

Which completely obscures whatever evil the "people" he speaks of committed. He would be a complete disaster if he were appointed, and that's why it's good that he's stepped down. The controversy raised over his appointment, which I'm sure he wanted, fortunately had an impact.
