Charles Freeman on his withdrawal and the "Likud Lobby"

I can't help but think of Raymond Burr of the old television series, Ironside when I hear Charles Freeman speak. That said, I am disappointed that Obama did not fight for Freeman's nomination as the Director of National Intelligence as he fought for Tom Daschle's nomination as Director of Health and Human Services. If Freeman's withdrawal from consideration as the DIA is a precursor of the impact of the "Likud Lobby" it will serve as an example of how much hasn't changed under President Obama.
