As the bureau's top counterterrorism agent, O'Neill -- who investigated the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Africa and the attack on the USS Cole -- joined then national security counterterrorism co-coordinator Richard Clarke in believing that the United States should kill Osama bin Laden before Al Qaeda launched a devastating attack on America. Richard Clarke, in his first major interview, talks about O'Neill's battles with the bureaucracy; FBI top brass found O'Neill's James Bond style an anathema. Forced out of the job he loved, O'Neill took a new position in the private sector -- as head of security at the World Trade Center, where he was killed on September 11. The story of O'Neill's life and death provides a rare glimpse inside the FBI and helps answer the question: What did the government know? [CC]
