Charles Freeman Withdraws Nomination as National Intelligence Council Chairman

Freeman's nomination concerned Democrats and Republicans alike. Some of the concerns centered around Freeman's very close financial ties to the Saudi Arabian government, his anti-Israel stance, his favorable view of Chinese repression in Tiananmen Square, and his implication that America's support for Israel was to blame for September 11th.

His withdrawal was accepted this afternoon.
