Tim Franks talks to Ali Soufan. A Muslim and an Arabic-speaker, he became the FBI's lead investigator on Al Qaeda, before and after the 9/11 attacks...attacks which he said could have been prevented, had some key intelligence been shared. In his own work for the FBI, he pursued and interrogated some of Al Qaeda's top people. And now he's gone public with the story of his fight against Islamist militants, and his struggle within the American intelligence community. Indeed he says he's been a marked man - not from Al Qaeda, so much as the CIA.
