I hadn’t seen him in 45 years. Now he’s out, and he’s telling me a story I almost couldn’t believe — except every piece of it checks out. While Greg was locked up in MCC New York, he was housed next to Ramzi Yousef, the man who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993. Greg got close to him. Yousef started passing him written notes through the cracks in the wall — plans to blow up planes, kill prosecutors, take down the World Trade Center. Greg gave it all to the FBI. They had photographs, kites, recorded calls. Then they buried him in supermax for 12 years and made him out to be a liar. Why? Because Greg was about to expose a corrupt FBI agent who’d put dozens of our guys in prison. You tell me what kind of country does this. Listen to what he says and decide for yourself.
