Gary Aldrich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gary Aldrich is a former FBI agent and author from Amsterdam, New York. He founded the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty, whose aim is, "promoting the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and supporting the right of citizens to engage in ethical dissent."

In 1996, Aldrich wrote Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House (published by Regnery Publishing), a controversial book on the Clinton administration. The book was widely praised in many conservative circles. Elsewhere, the book was condemned as an untruthful attack. CNN reviewed it, saying the book is "filled ... with second-hand, unsubstantiated sexual rumors about and bitter attacks against President and Mrs. Clinton." Amongst his claims were that "drug paraphernalia and sex toys were put on the White House Christmas tree," according to Washington Post contributor Howard Kurtz. His book stayed on the New York Times Bestseller List for 20 weeks and has sold a half million copies to date.

Aldrich has since written for conservative publications including WorldNetDaily (weekly) and Townhall.com (bi-weekly).
