#1 John O'Neill murdered by islamic terrorists on 911. He was marginalized by the pogues at the FBI who viewed him as a threat to their positions--namely Picard. The Ambassador to Yemen, Barbara Bodine comes across as a State Department version of Nancy Pelosi--egotistical, imperious, and stupid. She denied him a visa for a return to Yemen to continue his investigation into the Cole bombing. O'Neill probably knew as much about bin Laden and AQ as anyone at the time. It looked like he had connected many of the dots. He might just have prevented 911 from happening had the right people listened to him were not engaged in back-biting and bureaucratic games. |
