There's speculation that the LaBella award is a classic Freeh maneuver, a signal to the G.O.P. majority in Congress that Freeh is no Clinton-Gore lackey and would be a good fit in, say, a George W. Bush Administration. "Freeh is widely seen by the Democrats as grandstanding and being far too political for that job," says a congressional Democratic staff member. But Freeh associates insist...
