Former FBI agent says truth of 9/11 remains hidden - BBC

[scubadiver]

A former FBI agent has told the BBC that he is being prevented from telling the truth about the events of 9/11 and what has happened since.

Ali Soufan alleges that crucial intelligence was not passed on from the CIA before the attacks in 2001.

He has written a book detailing some of his claims and has been speaking to the BBC's Security Correspondent Gordon Corera in his first on camera interview on the subject.

In response to the allegations in this report the CIA issued a statement to the BBC that said: "Any suggestion that the CIA purposely refused to share critical lead information on the 9/11 plots with the FBI is baseless."

"The suggestion that the Central Intelligence Agency has requested redactions on this publication because it does not like the content is ridiculous."

The CIA decline to comment on the record about the accusations regarding waterboarding and interrogation.

Quite interesting but possibly just a "limited hangout"

We've known all along that torture doesn't work and it has been consistently rejected and decried by experienced interrogators - many of whom have whistleblown on the tactic (for all the good it's done).

Ali Soufan attempted to arrest the "CIA contractor"... shame he didn't succeed.

I presume you know about "A few Good Men" - the original story was inspired by an actual Code Red at Guantanamo Bay. Lance Corporal David Cox and 9 other enlisted men tied up a fellow Marine and severely beat him, for snitching to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Cox was acquitted and later Honorably Discharged. In 1994, David Cox mysteriously vanished, and his bullet-riddled body was found three months later. His murder remains unsolved. You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!
