12. Don't forget to set your VCR or TiVo

for this show.

I've heard about it for months so it must be worth saving.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

8. "the man who knew"...is that what's gonna be on?

[Reciprocity]

10. Yes

Frontline: The Man Who Knew
Examine the investigations of an FBI counterterrorism expert who warned of Al Qaeda's threat long before September 11, 2001.

[Jane Austin]

11. Yes, that's the Frontline program:

the Man Who Knew

[sadiesworld]

9. Thanks for the heads up!

:D

[Oilwellian]

13. If I may also add...

Koppel also suggested we watch Peter Jennings World News tonight. He apparently will be doing a piece on a FBI whistleblower. Not sure which one it will be but should be interesting. If it's Edmonds, look out! :D

[Jane Austin]

19. Thanks for this heads up.

I was so excited about the Frontline announcement that I didn't even hear the Peter Jennings reference.

Thanks.

[Reciprocity]

24. Thanks for the heads up on Peter Jennings !

22. For people just gettting home from work . . .

Kick!

[Waistdeep]

23. My listing says this is a rerun

"The Man Who Knew", Episode #2103.
Agent John O'Neill considers assassinating bin Laden before al-Qaida could act, prompting his separation from the FBI and his hiring as World Trade Center security director, just weeks before his death in the attacks.

Original Airdate: October 3, 2002.

[kaitykaity]

27. Yeah, I saw it the first time around.

I think we all did. But it's so relevant now, I applaud PBS for
replaying it.

[Jane Austin]

25. Kick

For those just getting home from work.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

26. For all Chicago area DU'ers

It's going to shown on WTTW Channel 11 tonight at 8:00 PM CDT. I think I saw this when it aired originally, but I'm going to tape it anyway for friends and family that are out of town right now. Can't wait!!!

[scarletwoman]

29. a little kick...

:kick:

[0007]

30. btt

[buycitgo]

31. is there something wrong with me? that show BIT it BIG!

watch it tonight, and keep track of how much time they spend on his personal life: his mistress, his celebrity status at Elaine's, his sartorial splendor, his expensive tastes in other things, his problems within the FBI bureaucracy (tangentially important to his investos, and why he quit, but all of this crap ran out the clock on the important aspects of his search for terra, rendering the overall effect, to me, less than helpful)

tell me what you learn from this show that you haven't already found out here.

sure, it'll be helpful to those that don't know who he is, but it does not appreciably advance the cause of finding out what happened, in my eyes

some interesting info on Yemen, and the horrible ambassador (REpublican, btw, which I found out much later, unless I wasn't listening when I saw it....that's very possible....who knows)

so, did anyone else see it before, and come away very disappointed?
