I'm glad you picked that particular book because I happened to have read it! Clinton did a very
skillful job of minimizing this guy (He had 6 months to prepare a counter response, as a member
of the FBI Aldrich had to get permission from the FBI in order to publish which, surprise ,
surprise , Louis Freeh , brown tongued director of the FBI won't give him). Gary Aldrich was the
FBI guy assigned to the White House to help with security. As such he had plenty of FIRST HAND
knowledge to report on. The Clinton gang focused on the weakest parts of his book as if that was
the way the whole thing was written. The book is well worth reading. I only wish more voters
would have read it and taken it to heart: we wouldn't have this crook in power now if they had!
