Reply #61: "The Wall" was entirely one-way.

The CIA knew exactly what the FBI knew about UBL, because it was what the Agency was willing to tell the Bureau.

When Tenet opened CTC in 1995, he made sure that CIA obtained and maintained control over the files. Recall the repeated frustrations that the Bureau had when its agents tried to run down domestic and int'l lead. They often found themselved blocked, because the Agency was already there, and had closed the door behind themselves. This happened in Chicago in the mid-1990s, it happened repeatedly to O'Neil during the Yemen investigation after the Cole bombing, and it happened at several junctures during the runup to 9/11.
