"...the failures of the FBI, CIA, and NSA to share intelligence that might have prevented the 9/11 attacks." I have some major problems with this book, in fact, many major problems with it. First, what separates those "failures" from what exists today: full spectrum domestic surveillance - - yet, we still have major crime and organized crime in America - - yet, they still claim they don't "have enough" to go after the banksters, and on and on and on, and so it goes. "..he (O'Neill) was living with three women, each of them unaware of the others' existence." Sure, we can trust everything O'Neill was involved with???? This book just sounds like the stringing together of all the official "conspiracy theories" - - but since Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Bush were proven wrong, what are we really to believe? Certainly not Prince Turki al-Faisal, of Saudi Arabia, when at least 15 of the 19 (and in all probability, given the false Yemeni passports, all 19 of 19) hijackers came from his country, Saudi Arabia!
