OT: a couple other URLs on O'Neill


First, a terrific piece from the New Yorker ...
http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?020114fa_FACT1

Note again, the January 2002 publish date and the prominence of Richard Clarke in the article. He an O'Neill were the two heros of our nation in fighting to get our government to be serious about protecting us against terrorism.

Here is a Clarke quote from the article ...

"Clarke immediately spotted in O'Neill an obsessiveness about the dangers of terrorism which mirrored his own. "John had the same problems with the bureaucracy that I had," Clarke told me. "Prior to September 11th, a lot of people who were working full time on terrorism thought it was no more than a nuisance. They didn't understand that Al Qaeda was enormously powerful and insidious and that it was not going to stop until it really hurt us. John and some other senior officials knew that. The impatience really grew in us as we dealt with the dolts who didn't understand."

How's that for 100% consistency.


Next, the book entitled Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth, narrated in part by O'Neill to authors Jena-Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie offering his observations and experiences with how the oil lobby influenced U.S. policy on the Taliban and Al Qaeda and blocked his terrorism investigations, and naturally, how it led to the White House. Lays bare, scanadalous details of the terrorism factories in Saudia Arabia and the U.S.' double standard and complicity.
