Do you remember John O'Neill?
NOT the swiftboat sleazebag.

The FBI terror expert who ended up incinerated in the WTC on 9-11 because of Bush's corruption/incompetence.

swiftboat for bush liar's name is said, it makes me so sad. :(

When you google 'the man who knew', JO's name still comes up. :cry:

3. yes, a good friend of Richard Clarke
who died at the WTC . Richard Clarke and others had nothing but high praise for this man. One of the few people in the FBI who did not have head up rear syndrome on terrorism.

bin Laden, which caused O'Neil to resign in fustration from the FBI and then was hired by Marvin Bush*s security company "Securacom" who happened to have the security contract for the WTC, United Airlines and Dulles Airport on 9/11?

6. Yup that's the very one
the one who had to air his frustration and reason for his resignation to two foreign authors (Brisard and Dasquie..The Forbidden Truth) because the US media wasn't interested in hearing why the best counterterrorism person we had was called off the trail of Saudi terrorists.

8. Yes, the one who was unhurt when the

plane hit the tower he was in, called people on his cellphone, went back into the tower to help get people out, and was somehow then killed.

So many interesting coincidences in his life, he must have been a coincidence theorist.

Security, Secrecy and a Bush Brother
By Margie Burns

A company that provided security at the World Trade Center, Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport and United Airlines between 1995 and 2001 was backed by a private Kuwaiti-American investment firm whose records were not open to full public disclosure, with ties to the Bush family.

Marvin P. Bush, a younger brother of George W. Bush, was a principal in the company from 1993 to 2000, when most of the work on the big projects was done. But White House responses to 9/11 have not publicly disclosed the company's part in providing security to any of the named facilities.

Public records indicate that the firm, formerly named Securacom, had Bush on its board of directors. He was also listed as a significant shareholder. The firm, which is now named Stratesec, Inc., is located in Sterling, Va., a D.C. suburb, and emphasizes federal clients. Bush is no longer on the board.

10. Instead of the "Freedom Tower," there should be an "O'Neil Building"
in Lower Manhattan.
