[Former CIA director George Tenet] missed multiple signs of a major Al Qaeda attack directed against the United States [prior to 9/11] and approved the Bush administrations torturing of terror suspects. He got the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He [also] received a $4 million advance to write a memoir. Tenet has received millions more in his current role as ... a board director and advisor to intelligence and military contractors. Louis Freeh, Tenets counterpart at the FBI during the run-up to 9/11 [also mishandled] significant and urgent intelligence of serious operational planning for terrorism attacks by Islamic radicals. Freeh resigned from the FBI two months before 9/11. In 2008, [a businessman named Nasser Kazeminy] was accused of bribing former Senator Norm Coleman, [and] hired Freeh to conduct a thorough investigation of the allegations against him in the hopes of clearing his name. In 2011, Freeh issued a public statement saying that his investigation had completely vindicated both Kazeminy and Coleman. Freeh also met with the Justice Department which was investigating the bribery charges but declined to bring a case on Kazeminys behalf. [Today, Freeh has a $3 million] Palm Beach penthouse.
