      This guy was amongst those stopped the enhanced interrogation techniques on terrorists. Might as well have had Osama bin laden as FBI Director.

    John O’Neil led me here and oh boy I’m so glad I’ve learnt who Ali Soufan is, I’m utterly speechless.
    On a different note, I recently visited the entire WTC complex that included a guided tour of the memorials and landmarks, visited the museum, and then went up Freedom Tower to the Observatory. Was such an amazing experience ❤️ I was there from 10am to 6:30pm and by the end of the day was left totally exhausted and in complete awe. In light of the events and total respect to the victims, my entire experience of the rebuilt WTC complex was wonderful, albeit with a heavy heart. Oh and the sphere at Liberty Park, I think I sat there for about 30mins in deep reflection trying to process my thoughts and emotions. I couldn’t help myself and had to touch the sphere, sorry. Overall, my visit was a very moving, highly emotional, yet a wonderful experience at the same time and highly recommend anyone thinking about visiting to definitely go.

    Whenever I encounter a 9/11 tin foil hatter, like an A&E truther, my primary reference source for my argument is Lawrence Wright's extraordinary book.

    I absolutely hated the characters that were portrayed by Peter Skarsgaard and Wrenn Schmidt (whoever they were based on in real life). I still remember getting dressed for work and suddenly seeing in the local news channel what was happening in New York on 9/11/2001. I felt shocked and sad as I watched it on TV. I was also scared because I was thinking that it could also happen in California if it happened in New York. And it also made me wonder, at that moment, if WW-3 would breakout because of what happened in New York.

      And it did - except it doesn’t play out as lemmings in jerky black n white footage like the other two. Look at how polarized, ignorant and devolved everything is now… WW3 was mostly psychological and the frontlines are the media outlets

      Peter's character is almost certainly based on Michael Scheuer, who famously said the only good thing to happened on 9/11 was the building falling on John O'Neill.
      Scheuer later ended up being a far-right nutjob who believes in Qanon and called for the assassination of President Obama.

      Same! I was 27, working in the Bay Area as a management consultant, on a Visa from Canada. I had plane crash nightmares all night, weirdly, and woke up to my phone ringing off the hook and my local friend Jamie telling me to: "Turn on your tv dude." It was shocking. I was young, and not as versed in politics as I would become, so I was afraid they would kick out all the immigrants and end my dream. The scariest moment for me though was around 11am on 9/11 after finding out that one of the flights was heading to San Francisco (and later, that one of the passengers was a trainer at my local gym) All air traffic in the US was grounded, yet when I went out on my balcony to get air, there was one of the last flights in the air was headed directly towards me, because of how my apartment lined up with the airport. I stood there paralyzed for 5 minutes, wondering if it was my last few moments. Can't believe it's been 22 years. #neverforget

    Really makes the CIA/Alec Station look stupid. But those women analysts weren't TOTALLY like that. Well the redhead that would be Alfreda Bikowsky and then she married Michael Scheuer head,of Alec Station and the Martin character. Because the real Michael Scheuer is nuts.
