The Sliming of Charles Freeman
Excellent post at Mondoweiss on the ongoing sliming of new National Intelligence Director Chas Freeman, who IMHO - as I noted in a post here a few days ago - is one of Mr. Obama's better and braver picks. Weiss links to a longer piece by Robert Dreyfuss at The Nation about the Freeman selection, and even a cursory inspection of the comments will tell you all you need to know about how much the Israel-first crowd hates him.
