Lieberman Grills Saudi-Chinese Agent: Dumped
Charles W. Freeman Jr., the former ambassador to Saudi Arabia, has been dumped as a nominee. He promoted China and he took money from Saudi royals.
Freeman “requested that his selection to be Chairman of the National Intelligence Council not proceed.”
The withdrawal came after Senator Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) grilled Blair at a Senate Armed Service Committee hearing Tuesday.
