Amid the criticism that has already emerged about President Obama's reported pick for the powerful position of chairman of the National Intelligence Council, there is a yet unmentioned problem that is likely cause even bigger troubles: He had business ties to the bin Laden family after 9/11.
Charles “Chas” Freeman, a former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, had business connections with the bin Laden family and their Saudi Binladin Group, a multi-billion dollar construction conglomerate founded by the father of Osama bin Laden. As chairman of Projects International, Inc., a company that develops international business deals, Mr. Freeman asserted in an interview with the Associated Press less than a month after September 11 that he was still “discussing proposals with the Bin Laden Group—and that won't change.”
(...)The Journal also noted that Freeman's connections with the bin Laden family went beyond business: Freeman's Middle East Policy Council, a think tank dedicated to Mideast issues, was receiving “tens of thousand of dollars a year from the bin Laden family” at that time. Since the rumors of his appointment broke, Freeman has been criticized because the pro-Saudi MEPC also accepted donations in the millions of dollars from the Saudi royal family.
(...)Freeman's appointment for the top intelligence post, which would task Freeman with creating and occasionally directly presenting President Obama with national intelligence estimates, has also sparked a firestorm among groups supportive of Israel who have accused him of bias. Freeman's MEPC was one of the loudest supporters of the Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy written by Stephen Walt and John Mearshimer, which was criticized by scholars for the paper's factual errors and shoddy scholarship.
Unacceptable.
I've warned about Obama. I don't trust Obama. I see far, far too much negative stuff... seriously negative stuff that fits together logically into a risky big picture and amasses to serious trepidations about Obama as President.
Each day I learn something new about Obama and his agenda. And it more often than not disturbs me. The direction into which he's leading America is the wrong direction, not only economically/fiscally/socially, but also in terms of U.S. national security interests, a direction which sends the wrong signals, particularly to our mortal enemies, who are always looking for a sign of either strength or weakness, and Obama is telling them that America is weak and willing to cave in to their demands, offering carrots while forgetting the stick. Gotta have a stick, and a big one, 'cause they've got sticks and have indicated they plan to use them!
By the way, Mr. Freeman donated about a thousand bucks to Obama's campaign...
Another scary-extremist crony of Obama... on top of the many, many we already know of... will it ever end? I fear not.

The statement was publicized by California attorney Orly Taitz who, along with her DefendOurFreedom.us Foundation, is working on a series of legal cases seeking to uncover Obama's birth records and other documents that would reveal whether he meets the requirements of the U.S. Constitution.
"As an active-duty officer in the United States Army, I have grave concerns about the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of president of the United States," wrote Scott Easterling in a "to-whom-it-may-concern" letter.
Obama "has absolutely refused to provide to the American public his original birth certificate, as well as other documents which may prove or disprove his eligibility," Easterling wrote. "In fact, he has fought every attempt made by concerned citizens in their effort to force him to do so."
He doesn't care if he gets court-martialed for demanding proof, for he's sworn an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, and is apparently taking the oath seriously, unlike, obviously, Obama.
Isn't it bizarre that the Big Media won't talk about this? Dammit, but it's juicy stuff. I thought the Big Media liked to go on and on and on about juicy stuff, and it doesn't get much juicier than the possibility that the President of the United States of America is a fraud, an impostor.
"Until Mr. Obama releases a 'vault copy' of his original birth certificate for public review, I will consider him neither my Commander in Chief nor my President, but rather, a usurper to the Office – an impostor," his statement said.
