In reality, Mohamed was probably an agent of Ali Mohamed. Whoever was paying him the most received his utmost loyalty. And it goes to show that until the attacks on American Embassies in Africa, nobody at the FBI or any other US Intelligence agency took Al-Qaeda as much of a serious threat at all.
Maybe Fitzgerald was the one who actually did take Mohamed seriously -- only to be overruled by his superiors. It's entirely possible. The manner in which Fitzgerald testified suggested that he knew the FBI shouldn't lose track of this man -- especially since he was a double-agent -- but there was never any effective action on anyone's part to get the Justice Department to re-evaluate the FBI's relationship to their man. That included Fitzgerald.
It has also been said that the FBI handled Ali Mohamed with the same disdain it had for Sibel Edmonds. And for the same reasons. Both had given depositions to the Feds only to have them "re-classified" due to security concerns. Edmonds was even fired. So when Fitzgerald mentions "security concerns" they were more of a "cover my ass" security re-classification that for any genuine national security need.
Edmonds was stifled because she had information from reading other translators' transcripts and realizing that the security of Translation Department at the FBI had been breached. Mohamed was another example of foreign intelligence cracking the FBI's security perimeter simply by flipping a double-agent to become a "triple-agent."
Fitzgerald all but certifies that Mohamed never should have been trusted again after the 1993 WTC bombings. That fact is true on more than its face value. But we'll probably never know. The 9/11 Commission is no more. And the government was quite shrewd in essentially whitewashing the whole Mohamed thing -- then sending some altar boy before The 9/11 Commission to explain it all.
One curious note: Ali Mohamed was convicted on several counts of conspiracy to commit murder and other related charges relating to the Nairobi Embassy bombing. However, the FINAL DISPOSITION of his sentence appears to have remained a secret. It definitely was a secret when Fitzgerald appeared before the 9/11 Commission.
