That's oddly coincidental that O'Neal was that close to uncovering the 9/11 plot and wound up from Head of FBI to Head of Security at the Twin Towers.

I wasn't ready, but it's too late to stop watching now

'The Looming Tower' on Hulu is an AMAZING 10-part show about all of this. Hightly recommend!

There were a few times this happened. “Hunting the Jackal” is a really good book by a guy who spent his life as special forces and stalked Osama Bin Laden for years well before 9/11 in Khartoum, Sudan. I highly recommend it as an audiobook or a read

Love your videos, keep up the good work

To Josh my take is:

Ali Soufan's approach is not only more ethical but also more effective in obtaining reliable intelligence. His method respects human rights, builds trust, and avoids the long-term damage associated with torture. On the other hand, the CIA’s harsher tactics, while sometimes yielding quick results, were counterproductive in the larger fight against terrorism, as they undermined U.S. moral authority and often led to false or misleading information.
Soufan's success demonstrates that skill, patience, and psychological insight often surpass brute force in intelligence gathering. His methods also highlight the importance of adhering to ethical standards, even in high-pressure situations.

Torture absolutely works on every movie I’ve ever seen so I’m an expert now and say everyone breaks at some point. But for real it’s crazy how one guy is smarter than the whole CIA.

I don't think prevention was ever the plan.

[smartiee]

Good job infographics show!!! Now I'm going to buy the book!!!

We're giving future kids much history homework

I know about Soufan and O'Neil because of The Looming Tower. So much could have been prevented if the CIA would have communicated with the FBI.

The Looming Tower also tells this story.

Well if you think the saying “Military Intelligence” is an oxymoron just wait till the next administration!
