"Just two weeks, TWO WEEKS, prior to the attack, O'Neill had left his job with the FBI. O'Neill had quit because
he believed that the Bush administration had stymied the intelligence agency's investigations on terrorism.
O'Neill charged that it had done so even as it bargained with the Taliban on handing over of Osama bin Laden in
exchange for political recognition and economic aid. In the ultimate irony, O'Neill had gone public with these
charges at the same time that he was leaving the FBI to become the head of security at the World Trade Center.

"The main obstacles to investigate Islamic terrorism were US oil corporate interests, and the role played by Saudi
Arabia in it," O'Neill reportedly told the authors of an explosive new book, Hidden Truth, by intelligence analysts
Charles Brisard and Guillaume Dasquie. Brisard met O'Neill several times last summer and reports that O'Neill
complained bitterly that the US State Department - and behind it the oil lobby who make up President Bush's
entourage - blocked attempts to prove bin Laden's guilt. "

Pat, I've heard this b4. The information may have come from several sources. I'll have to watch
for it to show up again. Recently, I read that a former FBI agent left the Bush administration
because he was upset. I hope I can find the reference again.
