Who Killed John O'Neil?

Ok, so this is really long... and really worth it if you have the time to pay attention. Once your into it you could safely listen while you delete spam or something. It's an extremely comprehensive account of what IS and what IS NOT known about September 11th 2001. ~ go large

John O'Neil started his new job as Head of Security at the World Trade Center on 9-11-01 His body was indentified by his employer Kroll Associates. TWO WEEKS, prior to the attack, O'Neill had left his job with the FBI. O'Neill had quit because he believed that the Bush administration had stymied the intelligence agency's investigations on terrorism. O'Neill charged that it had done so even as it bargained with the Taliban on handing over of Osama bin Laden in exchange for political recognition and economic aid. In the ultimate irony, O'Neill had gone public with these charges at the same time that he was leaving the FBI to become the head of security at the World Trade Center.

New York, Nov. 2 - Kroll Associates today announced that it has signed an agreement with former New York City Police Commissioner William J.

Mr. Bratton will work closely with Jerome M. Hauer, head of Kroll's newly formed Crisis and Consequence Management Group, which was created to provide corporations, government entities, police departments and other public safety agencies worldwide with crisis planning, training and on-site crisis response and mitigation. Mr. Bratton and Mr. Hauer worked closely together in the Administration of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani where Mr. Hauer served as the first Director of the newly created Mayor's Office of Emergency Management while Mr. Bratton was Police Commissioner.

Michael Cherkasky, President of Kroll Associates said, "I am delighted with our new relationship with Bill Bratton and The Bratton Group. It will significantly augment Kroll's growing franchise in worldwide public safety expertise. Bill's proven leadership and innovative management capabilities and successes have made him a world-renowned leader in the public safety and law enforcement arena. His unparalleled experience will give Kroll a singular competitive advantage in providing best-in-class services around the world. Bill's reforms and crime reduction in the five police departments that he headed - most notably in Boston and New York City, and his now famous Compstat police management system are emblematic of what Kroll will begin to offer worldwide. The synergy created by the joining of Bill Bratton and Jerry Hauer, and their collective expertise and reputations uniquely positions Kroll to greatly expand its private and public safety crime and crisis mitigation business opportunities."

"We are pleased and excited to join forces with Kroll Associates, the most valued and respected name in the security services industry," said Mr. Bratton. "Kroll and its clients are fortunate to have a singular collection of the very best and most talented individuals in the security services arena. This is an outstanding opportunity for our two firms to combine our respective expertise in order to greatly expand the service offerings to the government and public safety sector. We look forward to working with the entire Kroll team, and in particular, Jerry Hauer."

Mr. Bratton began his career in Boston as a police officer in 1970, rising by 1980 to Superintendent of Police, the highest sworn rank in the Boston Police Department.
