Vulgar Betrayal (The Story Of Robert Wright Jr.)

Robert G. Wright Jr. is an FBI agent who has criticized the FBI's counterterrorist activities in the 1990s, when he worked in the Chicago division on terrorists with links to the Middle East, especially on the issue of money laundering. Specifically, he worked on project Vulgar Betrayal, the single largest counter-intelligence operation pre 9/11, which allegedly implicated Yasin al-Qadi. Qadi is multi-millionaire from Jeddah and trained as an architect in Chicago, Illinois. He is also said to have personally met with Osama Bin Laden in Chicago in 1979 and was said to have links with Hamas. The program also investigated the The Holy Land Foundation charity which was secretly financing Hamas suicide bombings. He later wrote a detailed book which the FBI prevented him from publishing with threats of criminal prosecution. He complained that "FBI management intentionally and repeatedly thwarted and obstructed my attempts to launch a more comprehensive investigation to identify and neutralize terrorists."
