    NBC News is reporting that the FBI had a mole - a Los Angeles-based "driver and confidante" of a top al Qaeda official, and who helped stop a bin Laden-backed plot against a Masonic Lodge in LA. Richard Esposito is the senior executive producer of the NBC News Investigative Unit, and spoke with KCRW's Steve Chiotakis about the story.
