The Man Who Knew
At work today, Tim and I were discussing the upcoming war. As per usual, conversation turned to the events of September 11th. Tim mentioned that PBS had a special on John O'Neil, the FBI's expert on terrorism. O'Neil was the FBI's expert on the Al Qaeda and had warned the FBI of an upcoming attack on America. Because of the politics of the FBI, O'Neil's warnings fell upon deaf ears. Afterwards, he retired from the FBI. Ironically, O'Neil was killed in the September 11th attacks.

There's lots of information on John O'Neil at the following website, including the PBS television special "The Man Who Knew". It's worth watching if you doubt that the FBI knew about a possible threat against the United States.
