201: The Reluctant Spy
Taliban Embassy Raid, FBI Phone Bills, Missing Sleeper Cell Leads
A former intelligence officer recounts a 2002 raid on the Taliban embassy in Peshawar that uncovered 168 phone calls to numbers within the United States made just before September 11th. Despite the significance of the lead, the FBI allegedly failed to trace the numbers, eventually storing the evidence in a Maryland facility where it remained unexamined for years.
