Man Who Knew
A FRONTLINE- Documentary (60 min.)

 

This is the extraordinary tale of the life and death of FBI Special Agent John O'Neill. An expert on counterterrorism, O' Neill had long believed the United States should kill Osama bin Laden before Al Qaeda could launch a devastating attack on America. But his James Bond style and hot pursuit of Al Qaeda made him an outcast in the button-down world of the FBI.

Forced out of the job he loved, O'Neill left the Bureau for a job in the private sector-as head of security at the World Trade Center. He died there on September 11th. The Man Who Knew offers a rare glimpse inside the FBI and helps answer the question: What did the government know?
