Question For Everyone

In the 9/11 Report, in order to protect the identity of an intelligence asset, they would sometimes refer to people as simply "John", "Mary", etc... "We will call him "John". Have their identities been revealed?

Dave (Peter in the DoJ OIG report) is Clark Shannon:

The names were revealed in Lawrence Wright's Looming Tower.
Otherwise it's fairly straightforward, Steve B is Steve Bongardt, Ali S is Ali Soufan, Jen M is Jennifer Maitner. I have a sneaking suspicion "Richard" (aka "Rich" and "Rich B") is Richard Bissell III, but I'm not so sure about that.
Wilshire was at the heart of almost everything that went wrong in terms of intelligence sharing in the run-up to 9/11 - the repeated failures to tell the FBI about Almihdhar and Alhazmi and the Moussaoui case - that's some coincidence.
Thank you...
Kevin.
