For those who aren't consumed by conspiracy theories...

This is an in-depth (so slow in a few spots) play by play of the U.S.'s intelligence community's relationship with Bin Laden. It begins with his first blips on the CIA's radar, his rise to a focal point of their attention, his role in 9/11 and subsequent hiding, and finally his killing.

Along the way we're given access to the procedures of the intelligence community, the personal, political, and personal fallout of 9/11, the practical emergence of enhanced interrogation, and some final thoughts about what it all meant - if anything.

I enjoyed Zero Dark Thirty and liked how this gave a factual skeleton to the fictionalized version of events that film offered.

To those who feel this is a piece of propaganda (conspiracists/truthers/anti-israel, etc) and, oddly enough, those who think women can't/shouldn't be heroes, this will reinforce all your prejudices, so go ahead and watch just to enjoy how your being lied to again.

For other reasonable people who just like learning new aspects of a well known story, this could be for you. I liked it a lot.
