More lobby fingerprints: Facts & Logic about the Middle East, a tambourine group, here takes credit for forcing Chas Freeman's withdrawal:
Congratulations to all FLAME supporters who responded to our last FLAME Hotline,
in which we encouraged you to write to President Obama about his misguided
attempt to appoint Charles (Chas) Freeman as head of the National Intelligence
Council (NIC). We were successful in ousting him!…
Freeman, as we noted, has a long history of anti-Israel
statements and financial connections to the Saudi Arabian government… Thankfully, overwhelming pressure on Obama and congressional representatives
from a range of political quarters—not just pro-Israel forces—caused Freeman
to withdraw from consideration for the NIC post.
