FBI's John O'Neill, played by Harvey Keitel. Here's his REAL story!

FRONTLINE's “The Man Who Knew,” chronicles John O'Neill's story -- a story that embraces the clash of personalities, politics and intelligence, offering important insights into both the successes and failures of America's fight against terrorism.

...

Former U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White credits O'Neill with quickly grasping the danger Yousef and other terrorists represented to America.

...

O'Neill immersed himself into learning everything he could about global terrorism and Islamic fundamentalist militancy. In 1997, O'Neill was promoted to special agent in charge of the national security division in the bureau's New York office. Observers say O'Neill grabbed at the chance to head the team that was investigating and prosecuting most major international terrorism cases. The job would also be the perfect base from which to continue his pursuit of bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

But while John O'Neill had succeeded in winning allies among CIA and international intelligence agencies, not everyone within the FBI was so enamored of him. A fixture on New York's celebrity social circuit, O'Neill's flamboyant style and his unconventional personal life -- he had several longtime girlfriends and a wife he never divorced -- had long raised eyebrows within the FBI.

1. He quickly grasped the dangers.... meanwhile, the first

Trade Center bombing, the millenium plot, the attempt on shrub's dad, AND the august 6th PDB left fratboy needing more vacation time than time on the job. Then there was that friends of the family thingy.... upsetting to be sure.

2. Everything we've heard or read about the O'Neill incident stinks.

I even wonder if O'Neill actually died during 9/11 or at all. The first time I ever heard O'Neill's name was when the NYT ran a story about how he had lost an important briefcase and was being chastised by the FBI for it. Then the briedcase mysteriously reappeared without anything missing.

Next I heard that he was fired/or quit from the FBI and took a job at the Towers. So there he was, conveniently placed, just prior to the "attack" on 9/11. Convenient, yes. But for whom?

Paralleling this:

Interestingly enough, O'Neill and Fitzgerald were also linked in their efforts.
When Fitzgerald was given his new position and put in charge of the Plame case I did some digging and find that he and O'Neill's paths crossed quite a bit in terms of their both being in the thick of things regarding investigations of Osama bin Laden and others who were purportedly (but never proven) to be behind the terror on U.S. soil and abroad. In fact no one in the Al Qaeda leadership has been brought to trial since 9/11. They have only been reported to have been killed. Fitzgerald left his job in NYC for his new position in Chicago just a couple of weeks before 9/11. And shortly after moving to Chicago he went to O'Neill's funeral service there (O'Neill was originally from Chicago). All very strange connections and circumstances........

I just think we will never know the truth of all this. But I feel pretty certain that what we're hearing is mostly fiction.
