Louis Freeh is the real culprit in the Richard Jewell story Former FBI director s mishandling of the 1996 Olympics bombing in Atlanta led to the Jewell debacle Follow Us
Question of the Day
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
If you want to know what really happened in the controversial case of Richard Jewell, who was a suspect in the 1996 bombing at the Olympics in Atlanta, don’t watch the new movie produced by Clint Eastwood.
Gripping though “Richard Jewell” is, it wrongly blames FBI case agents for bullying Jewell and leaking his name to the press as a suspect. The real culprit, whose misguided intervention and stubbornness led to the Richard Jewell debacle, was Louis Freeh, then the FBI director.
