The Man Who Knew...

"FRONTLINE kicks off its 20th anniversary season with 'The Man Who Knew,' the extraordinary saga of FBI Special Agent John O'Neill. As the bureau's top counterterrorism agent, O'Neill--who investigated the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Africa and the attack on the USS Cole--came to believe the United States should kill Osama bin Laden before Al Qaeda launched a devastating attack on America. His often lonely voice was muted by a headquarters bureaucracy that found his hot pursuit and James Bond style an anathema. Forced out of the job he loved, O'Neill took a new position in the private sector--as head of security at the World Trade Center, where he was killed on September 11. The story of O'Neill's life and death provides a rare glimpse inside the FBI and helps answer the question: What did the government know?"

On most PBS stations, this is going to be airing tomorrow night (Thursday) at 9PM. Check your local listings for confirmation. O'Neill's story is a remarkable one; definitely worth checking out.
