Saw the program, too, and endorse strongly endorse your views. A must see for those who worry about our institutions. I really do wonder what would have happened if O'Neill had been given a free hand in the Yemen/Cole investigation, instead of a handcuff. Ambassador Bodine needs to be given a posting to Kazakhstan or the Central African Republic for her role in styming O'Neill's work in Yemen. There's no telling what he might have been able to do if given sufficient authority. It's unfortunate that the FBI apparently does not have some sort of mechanism for cutting through bureaucratic BS. O'Neill's safe house and briefcase transgressions were real, but ultimately harmless. Someone should have stepped in to make sure the career of a brilliant agent would not be terminated as a result of minor infractions. Tom Pickard, who refused to speak to Frontline, was qualified only in ass-kissing and vengeance. I had no idea that O'Neill had been killed in the WTC 9/11 bombing until the end of the program.
