FRONTLINE: The Man Who Knew

PBS ^ | October 3, 2002 | FRONTLINE

[Destro]

This was a guy that was constantly pushing the envelope when the envelope didn't want to be pushed. So the envelope fought back.”

What was in that envelope that did not want to be discovered?

[Destro]

The documentary was excellent, despite its PBS origins.

[Destro]

Before this Frontline documentary aired Freepers wondered on this thread The Man Who Knew if PBS would do an honest investigation. I think the documentary was well done and very revealing.

[RJCogburn]

The documentary was excellent, despite its PBS origins.

I agree completely. Wonderful job which I advise all Freepers to try and see next time it airs.

If you follow the PBS link it says that it will be available soon for webbroadcasting.

I watched it because Bill O'Reilly interviewed the producer Michael Kirk tonight and Bill told his audience to watch it. There was another thread on this with little activity and I am so glad others saw it and just wish every single Freeper would see this incredible Frontline piece....wonder if it will be reaired....I quickly emailed every kindred spirit west of my time zone in hopes that they will watch it tonight.

[FilmCutter]

I was the editor on the film. I am not a liberal. Please don't label all of us at PBS as liberals. I work hard to be objective.

[scouse]

I watched the show, you did a good job....Thank you.

[leadpenny]

I didn't watch the program but a question comes to mind: What did Robert Hanssen possibly give up, during his 20 years as a traitor, that may have facilitated the terrorists in carrying out their plans? And, if he did help them, wittingly or otherwise, how will we ever know?

[Bosco]

Actually, given that PBS is so liberal I was surprised at the evidence on Frontline. I initially thought that it was a whitewash of Clinton's legacy, but that wasn't the impact. The culprit is the bureaucracy in Washington. That's wny Bush needs his unfettered Homeland Security Office without the union and bureaucratic entanglements.

We are at war, folks. At war with the enemy (bureaucrats) and Al-Qaeda.

[baseballmom]

Just watched it. An outstanding show.

[leadpenny]

Any thoughts on my questions at #10? Sorry I missed your work.

[Fred Mertz]

I watched it with great interest tonight and felt it was both very well produced and quite revealing.

I made comments on the other thread and pinged you to them. Michael Sheehan is one of my college pals who I saw last month but didn't really get a chance to talk with him. I regret that now.

[Destro]

It was my way of telling those that are weary to not judge by the PBS label. Your work was excellent. By the way, any information on revealed links to Bosnian's, Chechens turned up under the investigation that may have spooked the State Dept back then?

[Ciexyz]

It's clear they pushed him out. Charging him with giving his girlfriend a ride in an FBI car? Oh please. No wonder the terrorists slammed into the Twin Towers, the FBI was asleep at the wheel.

[Fred Mertz]

The focus of the production was on John O'Neill's counter-terrorism expertise with the FBI and the growing al Qaeda network. Hanssen didn't figure into the equation.

If you get a chance see "The Man Who Knew", it was excellent.

[USA21]

This John O'Neill new it all

[Destro]

For what it's worth: BIN LADEN GATE

[USA21]

O'Neill was stop in very investigated he did!!
