Mike Scheuer was the founder and chief of “Alec Station,” the CIA unit dedicated to tracking Osama bin Laden in the years before September 11, 2001. Per John Kiriakou: “Bill — Mike Scheuer — yeah. Two-junior. And Alec Station was saying from the very beginning, ‘They’re going to attack us, they’re going to attack us, why is nobody paying attention, they’re going to attack us.’”[1][2]
Per Kiriakou, Scheuer and FBI New York counterterrorism chief John O’Neill were both “100 percent correct” about bin Laden — and both hated inside their own agencies for being so persistent about it.[3]
