Prior to the attacks of 9/11, the TSA didn't exist and 90% of the screening stuff at the airport didn't exist. In fact I recall as a teenager being able to go with my family to the airport to see my dad off on a trip for work. We could walk all the way up to the gate and wave at the plane at the window, no ticket or ID check required. You only had to be verified to get on the plane itself.
And what security that did exist was generally one by the airline or a private company.
"Who is Osama Bin Laden?" folks I got some bad news. We're old.
True, but I appreciate the fact the heroes' names are remembered and not the villains' names.
@@cozccsand on top of that, they're from New Zealand, so this entire situation is foreign to them.
Not old.. we've just failed to teach history.
@@do0ranfrump260you can’t blame the kids for not knowing. Read Gomi comment above. Their school system is built around different history, even the parents are learning.
Well I dont think history books nowadays mention such a name but only what caused 9/11.
My mother worked at the world trade center, she was on her way to work and usally takes the express. That day she took the local and would have been there if not for the later train she took. I have never been more worried for her then on that day.
Hope you're having a great and safe time in the US!
I'm glad that you're finally including your kids in these types of videos to get some insight from the younger generation on these past world events.
I don't think they need to be included on them if they don't want to. I think Denzie is still a bit Young
@LindaC616 not your child. They think he old enough
@@carladavis1473, they don't give a rats ass about what he sees, they are here to make money. Everything they do is to make money.
@@carladavis1473 not OP's child, either.
As a child (younger than both Atlanta and Denzel), we watched the nightly news, which included the body count ratio from the Vietnam War, the assassination of JFK, RFK, MLK, Nixon opening China, the Cuyahoga River burning, Nixon resigning, as well as Apollo 11 and mankind's first steps on the moon. We lived that in real time as kids.
It is not unreasonable for them to learn of history at their ages if their parents want them to.
Guantanamo Bay, (AKA Gitmo), is a military prison, established in 2002 to house war criminals and suspected terrorists, within the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base located in Cuba.
Check your facts buddy. Gitmo has been around for awhile. Taken to another level after 9/11 but it’s been there
Have been watching for a few years. You have a great family. ❤
Being a Homeless Veteran for 10yrs if any of you think it's easy it's not. Nobody cares about our situation Now i make 22k weekly. have a home, a wife, a lovely daughter... A child of God. HALLELUJAH
How did you do it? Do explain please 😯
My family have been into series of sufferings lately
All thanks to Christine Evelyn Mackie
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸 also paid for my daughter's surgery (Joey). Glory to God.shalom.
Absolutely! I've heard stories of people who started with little to no knowledge but made it out victoriously thanks to Christine Evelyn Mackie.
I do know Christine E. Mackie, I also have even become successful....
What’s up guys I like the way you answered his question when he asked who osama was
Gitmo Prison is located in Cuba and is on the south side of the island.
The prison, also known as Camp X-Ray (and by other names), is a small portion of the military base which includes naval ports and an airfield. The prison was first built in the early to mid 1990s to house Cuban and Haitian refugees intercepted on the ocean who turned out to be dangerous criminals pending repatriation to their countries of origin. After 9/11, Camp X-Ray, was expanded and modified to house known and suspected terrorists captured during the US and Coalition's War on Terror. Many are still held there, but many others were transferred into the custody of other countries, and some were sent to US federal prisons.
Happy I decided to stay up a little later than usual because now I get to watch this!
My cousin was involved in the finding of Osama . Thank goodness! My mother in law was on a plane coming home from London at the time on 9-11 . All we knew was that the planes fly # was 11. We didn't know if it was longer but thankfully it was. They turned her flight around and she had to stay in London for another 3 weeks. It was a crazy time but we finally got her back home.
❤
I was on the local fire department at that time. One of our firefighter's mother was supposed to be on the flight but canceled. She was killed 5 or 10 years later by a drunk driver.
The most important thing to remember.... Over 2000 humans were murdered that morning.
Yep. From dozens and dozens of nationalities. It wasnt just an attack on us, it was an attack on the entire western civilization. It makes me mad when ppl try to make excuses for evil and act like they had legit reasons for such scumbaggery.
And over 400,000 civilians were murdered in the middle east as a result of the actions of a few...
Let's not forget the london attacks in 2005 . 😢
And countless others who died later from cancer, PTSD, etc. Such a tragedy. What I do remember as well, was we truly came together as neighbors and a united country. You couldn't find an American flag to buy because they were already flying on everyone's house, yard, vehicle, and business. The beautiful songs that were written and sung was heartwarming as we came together and remembered all the innocent lives lost.
@@brendasmith1533 thank you for remembering us veterans. we do sometimes get forgotten in all of the numbers wrapped up in the tragedy, so when someone remembers us, it matters.
Yay another video. Can’t wait to see the trip vlogs but I love what you have in the meantime.
Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God
Zero Dark Thirty (not for kids) is a great depiction of the events. Also, many of these Al Qaeda members that were interrogated and held prisoner were kept at CIA Black Sites in the Middle East, and not in Guantanamo. Guantanamo is located on a small area of Cuba, the only territory controlled by the U.S. in Cuba. Some of the 9/11 terrorists are still held there. In the Tom Cruises movie, A Few Good Men, part of the movie takes place at a fictional Guantanamo Bay. Great movie-nothing to do with 9/11, but worth watching.
There is a Wikipedia article on CIA black sites, secret locations where the CIA held prisoners mostly related to Al Quaida and other Islamist groups. Many countries helped America in this by arresting people and handing them over to the CIA or just letting the U.S. transport prisoners through their territory. Several of them allowed the CIA to erect sort-off secret permanent detention sites.
A lot of stuff was portrayed incorrectly in the movie.
Nice to see a reaction video hope yall are enjoying your visit
Wow a rare monday night video lol. Keep it up yall
My daughter was born Sept. 11th... 91... so... that being her 10th birthday... it was rather unforgettable... I could not take my eyes off the TV... I remember her coming home from school... slamming the door... slamming her book bag down on the floor... stomping all the way to her room... where she slammed her door and proclaimed, "This is the worst birthday EVER!"... I couldn't argue with her... eventually she joined me in my room and we sat and watched the TV for hours... I don't think we did anything at all really for her birthday that year. Just too traumatized...
My cousin was supposed to celebrate her 20th birthday that day. She came home crying saying she was sorry that this happened on her birthday. We had to explain to her that her birthday and that terrible event had no connection and that no matter what we weren’t going to let anything take away from that special happy day. I hope that your daughter has reclaimed her birthday with pride as she should. Remember the fallen, honor them by living the best life you can.
P.S. On that day I was going through training for my job in the Navy. That made it tough for her because she knew that meant I was going to war.
@@adammaynard5683 My mom told her that her brother had his birthday the day Kennedy was shot... we tried to console her that it was "ok" and all but she just wasn't having it. She did eventually get over it and we have celebrated her birthday every year since... but yeah... it was hard to even think about anything but what was happening that day and for months after that day.
P.S. Thank you for your service... it means the world... really it does.
@@malagastehlaate9923 it’s totally understandable, it couldn’t have been easy to separate those events. I’m glad she’s celebrating that day. My service was out of love, you’re worth it. ❤️
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! ❤️🇺🇸💝
Another great video. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Guantanamo Bay is in Cuba. It's a U.S. naval base.
GITMO is a US Navy Base on Cuba. We pay them $100 gold every year for rent. A military installation is considered US Land. The same as a consulate or Embassy.
Another one to watch is about what happened to all the planes still in the air. Called The Plane People. About a town called Gander who took in numerous planes.
Love your videos. Great job parents!!
I was working in Guantonomo Bay, Cuba in 2003 for 81 days. I was working construction but whenever the prisoners from 9/11 arrived on base... you knew. The security for the transport was insane. Even on one of the most secure bases in the world. I actually have a video on UA-cam showing you around the base.
I love your family's videos. I was shocked to see that you speak of the man and the day that changed my whole life. I live in New York State. Had family who lived and worked very close to the Towers. I can still tell you where I was when I heard the initial reports. I joined the military Oct 8, 2001. Served proudly with a few deployments. The day I was happiest, was hearing that man no longer lived. Thank you for remembering such a dark day in our history.
Guantanamo Bay is a a bay in Cuba and has a naval base where they detained these alleged terrorists for years.
They are still there. Latest public motions in the tribunal are from 6/14/24. Some transcripts are available for the public
Are detaining *
39 men remain there indefinitely, 27 haven't been charged with anything. that's insane.
@@romulus_ it is insane. I've lost track of how many attorneys and judges have rotated through. After 20+ years...just nuts
I love that group “hi,” its so cheery.
The Carol Burnett Show I saw in the 70's the whole family will love!!
Yes!
The interrogation tactics that were used and eventually came to light happened at Abu Ghraib in Iraq. GITMO immediately stopped those tactics when several humanitarian organizations started reporting on the abuses. There is so much more, but GITMO was not the only one.
This NZ family brought me to tears as they watched the story of our national anthem w/so much respect and love for this nation on another of their postings. I was sold when I watched their kids faces. As a Disabled American Veteran, on behalf of all my fellow veterans here and abroad..."Let us adopt this NZ family as our own!". You may want to call yourselves unofficial dual citizens now! LOL. You have won the hearts of all Americans who know of you. I have PTSD and when I feel the need to feel patriotic, you are on my playlist, this NZ family... Come to Indy soon, the last weekend in any May, and you must notify me when you do, please. I look forward to meeting you with a few hundred thousand of my friends!!! (the Indy 500 is the "greatest spectacle in racing" at an avg of 350,000) you may never feel love like this in your lifetime again. Mike "Buck" Rogers-BM3/OS3/ SAR2 (USN retired) Thank you for your service to a nation in an identity crisis, you bring us back to who we were, who we are, and how we are looked upon.
The Geneva Convention only applies to members of national standing armies not terrorist organizations so it doesn't apply to prisoners taken who are terrorists.
Not true at all. The Geneva Convention applies to "all persons in enemy hands."
You're a natural on camera, keep shining!
Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God
Sucha lovely family. Us Americans love you guys so much
Nadine - you asked the most important question - was Pakistani intelligence helping the U.S.? I think they pretended to be helping - but Bin Laden was basically hiding in Pakistan - right down the street from a government military academy. A revealing detail in this story is that when the U.S. special forces flew into capture / kill Bin Laden - they did NOT alert the Pakistan government that we were entering their country. I think it's safe to assume that the U.S. believed the Pakistan Intelligence was hiding / protecting Bin Laden. Not everyone in this world believed Bin Laden had done something terrible. The Pakistan government had its own interests. But I'm glad you four are on our side. Hope you're enjoying your adventures through the U.S. Thanks for posting this one.
I 100% agree. They were help Bin Laden andBush wasn’t either smart enough to see it or didn’t want to believe Vin Laden was getting tipped off. This went on for several years until Obama came along and didn’t “ask” for permission to go in.
Exactly! Pakistan knew he was there, but spoon fed info to keep US at bay.
The Pakistani government motivation being the $500 million per year the U.S. government was giving Pakistan to assist in “finding” Bin Laden.
Love your creativity, it's inspiring!
Great video and the sound on this one for the watched video is great!
Great video! You might like a movie such as "Zero Dark Thirty", which is the cinematic story of the hunting, finding, and killing of bin Laden. From mainly the CIA perspective. Oh, and you're right about Guantanamo Bay. It's an old U.S. base in Cuba, pretty much in disuse by the military, but used extensively by the CIA. They've taken lots of people there for interrogation. "Enhanced" interrotation. Thanks, again, and God bless you!
The naval base is still there and in use by the navy. It's the main base for the Carribean (outside of the prison and various on going tribunal cases)
@@H2G2_STP Good point! Thanks! Is it still being used as much as it was before? That was my understanding, that the use of the base by the Navy isn't what it used to be. Thanks, again!
@@George-kv6gm it's nothing like it was at her peak and has less men/women stationed there but there is still a naval presence separate from the prison and they are still doing some upgrades and modifications to the infrastructure of the base and with recent Russian ships and a Russian sub in the area and catribean in general and it can easily handle our subs comimg into the bay it's in an ideal location. Itll never be what it was in the cold war days. They also assist with drug interdiction operations around the Carribean
@@H2G2_STP Thanks, again! Well, at least there's more than just a prison there. And who knows, there may be a need for them to have a place for a sub to stop in, at some point. It just makes me sad that we spend so much to put the facility in, and then don't use it to its full capacity. Thanks for the update!
The movie “Zero Dark-Thirty” is a very good description of those events.
America didn’t “invade Afghanistan.” It was an international coalition of nations led by the U.S.
let’s get some facts into the picture.
And I am not sure that a self-defense action can be labeled an invasion.
If that's not an invasion
Then Russian attack on Ukraine is not an invasion
What facts?
US drives the nato and their country is permanently under US occupation of it's invasion
Like US did in Iraq
That doesn’t look like the RV! Hope yall are enjoying your US tour.
Guantanamo Bay has a US naval base. The land is rented from Cuba on an irrevocable lease. There is a prison there also
My Grandpa was in Guantánamo Bay as a prisoner for sometime
Something about smuggling drugs I think right after or during his military service
It’s been awhile since your videos popped up on my screen, I guess UA-cam decides what I see. I am subscribed. Anyway, I didn’t realize how I missed you guys. Love your work. The kids have really grown. Mom, your daughter is like looking at your reflection, only a little younger. It amazes me how my country is more interesting to people from other countries than to a good portion of the population here. It is a shame on our people, but kudos to all our proud Americans who still honor our history, constitution, and flag. Thank you for loving our country also.
Click on the drop down box next to where it says you are "Subscribed". Make sure you are checked next to "ALL".
Keep the history alive it's important that all of us remember this. Be very careful to not allow this to fall out of memory. And always remember the bad guys don't go unpunished.
Thanks!
Thankyou so much David!
Unbelievable how much Atlanta looks like her Mother lately. Thanks for the post, guys!
If you enjoy American history, from beginning to end, I highly recommend "The Fat Electrician." Nick is basically a walking historian. Parents first, watching his material. He's a former service member, he uses colorful language. However, he teaches in a way that the younger generation identifies with. He has children in the US write him for help on book reports. If you all are interested.
My grandpa and father went to fight in Afghanistan after all this happened
My grandpa was actually in the Pentagon when the plane hit
Both came home without injury
I also go to church with someone who's FBI group helped discover bin ladens location
Your Grandpa? Oh no, now I do feel old.
@@catw6998 im only 16 so he wasn't a grandpa when it happened
Both my parents were still in highschool
No need to feel old
Guantanamo bay is in Cuba, ironically, there is a military base on Cuba.
Loved ya'lls boat lift vid!
Heyy! Your kids are growing up! They look older, from my recollection. Thank you for addressing these important historical events, reminding us and informing your kids. May I recommend the movie Zero Dark Thirty about the hunt for Bin Laden.
As for 2009., you should definitely check out Miracle on Hudson river. Amazing story
Wlow... I just turned 50. You brought out a lot of memories from that time....
Since this is your newest video I hope you see this. Also, since you seem to enjoy American history I thought you would enjoy seeing and reacting as a family to how some of us Americans remember our history. The you tube title "Revolutionary War Reenactment: Battle of Germantown 2015" is about a battle fought on October 4, 1777 and is about 10 minutes long. Also, it is important to know that the house in the video is the actual house from the original battle 245 years before! This was the very first place I reenacted when I was 12 years old (back in 1991).
Yes Seal team six is pretty awesome, but their ability to make smores is nothing compared to yours. This was very informative. Thanks
Guantanamo Bay is in Cuba. It is Guantanamo Bay Cuba.
That's correct, but we signed a semi-permanent lease for the base, after the original Cuban revolution against Spain, but before the current government. So, the Castro (and post-Castro) regime want it back, but we said 'no thanks'.
Thank you to the wonderful SEAL TEAM 6 and wonderful President Obama for giving the green light for this and rescue of Jessica Buchanan.
A friend of mine, we were military policeman together, was by then an FBI agent and went to Germany to pick up and escort an individual involved.
Cool stuff
I’ve never been fingerprinted at an airport
Maybe because they aren't Americans.
@@brendasmith1533 I think so too
Returning from Australia in 2017 my daughter and I were both fingerprinted, even though we had Global Entry clearance. A bit of a problem, however, was my daughter, because of years of chemo, had virtually no fingerprints left. After a few minutes they confirmed her identity and we were on our way. Since then, I have been to Australia and back several times and no more fingerprinting. They have gone to facial recognition.
Guantanamo Bay is a U.S. military base/prison in the Southeast of Cuba. It is a super controversial topic in American politics today because of the inhumane treatment of prisoners, a statement echoed by the EU, Leaders of Muslim countries, Amnesty International, and more.
Guantanamo Bay is indeed at a bay in Cuba
Recently took my first international trip out of the US with my family. I told my grandmother who hasn't flown internationaly since before the 9/11 attacks that travelling out of the US is way different then travelling within. It took us maybe 10 mins to get past security landing in London Heathrow and roughly the same amount leaving London to fly to Paris. Coming back took like an hour to get through customs and we didn't even have anything to declare and we were in the handicap wheelchair access line which was way shorter than general admittance.
There's another video done by someone else that does a good job of explaining the raid on the compound
I was in my mid 20's when 9/11 happened. I remember exactly where I was when it happened and I remember exactly where I was when I learned of bin Laden's death. It's kind of crazy to think that it's been over 20 years and I can still recall it like it was yesterday.
Gosh darn it, I wanted to see the whole video play out 😂
Why you cut off the video before he explains the raid on Bin Laden?
That's the end of this video about the search for Bin Laden. At the end, the announcer said there was a separate video about the raid itself.
The purpose of G Bay is, if you are accused of a crime and on US soil, the supreme court says you are afforded all due process rights as everyone else in the US. G Bay is not on US soil....
I love that you guys have so much know ledge about what really happened. Y'all have wonderful bright kidsm
Helo brother your faimllly is very very cuit love from india
i have friend in goa
What’s prob craziest about us getting bin Laden is we had 1 of the helicopters crash land within the compound and yet no one heard it. Quite amazing, though the Khalid come here in to bait him out was pretty wild too.
Were they supposed to crash that helicopter?
@@JV-mw7gvumm no lol.
@@JV-mw7gvlol. No. It was an experimental stealth helicopter. Idk why they felt is was ready for a mission of that magnitude. But maybe the cause of the crash was something unrelated to it being new tech. Idk. We’ll never know
It's so weird to hear of these crazy mishaps during such big and pivotal events in history.
Guantanamo is a US Navy Base at the southern end of Guantanamo Bay. The US acquired access to this area in a treaty with Cuba in 1903. The US recognizes Cuban sovereignty, but as long as they keep paying the rent, they can't really be forced out. In order to not grant the terrorists the same rights as people living in US proper a prison was created there to house all these prisoners.
I was a 22-year old Senior in College / University on that Tuesday. Fell asleep on my couch Monday night, woke up thinking I left some Sci-Fi B-Movie channel on the TV.
I was 21 working in an assembly plant next to a power station that morning. At one point there were dozens of planes unaccounted for and many were speculating if this was a much larger more organized attack. Thankfully, we were given the opportunity to go home. I did and went home and threw up. Not only did I think I was going to war but i knew my youth was over. I wasn’t drafted but I was right about youth.
Guantanamp...It's on part of Cuba.
Several corrections to the dad’s comments: Guantánamo Bay is a USA federal prison in Cuba. it is not true that they could do anything. They wanted with the terrorists while they were there: not true. Guantánamo Bay has unscheduled and frequent inspections to check on that. What serious interrogation we did was in the Middle East, mostly Afghanistan, which it did work. You ask government found the Pakistani government was lying to us on several occasions. The Pakistan government knew that Osama bin Laden was in Pakistan, and by lying to us was incorrectly protecting him. This is why Navy seal team had to go into get him without the permission of the Pakistan government. Further, Pakistan is not an ally of United States. In fact, quite the opposite.
Nice reaction
The shear magnitude of info in the intelligence world is overwhelming. It takes time to verify, by then, things have changed.
Definitely check out more on the process of how OBL’s location was verified. Extremely high tech tools coupled with human interpretation. IE: Drones filmed the compound and measured shadows to establish heights of the people there. OBL was well over 6’ tall so extrapolate the shadows gave critical info. 👍
This video serves as a reminder and ties together what we lived day-to-day for all those years. It's a perfect explanation to a Utuber who upon watching the video of the killkng of bin Laden, asked, why didn't you arrest him? 😮
While a movie, consider watching Zero Dark Thirty. Guantanamo is a US Naval Base in Cuba.
Yeah they were in Cuba but they were also in other countrys I saw one of the prisons in Australia
Guantanamo Bay is in cuba
Guys, u should really try to watch the movie “zero dark thirty”. Its not a very family friendly movie but 20:22 its such a good dramatization of what “may” have taken place.
Its not overly violent but has some harsh language. Enjoy❤
An aussie wearing a vancouver grizzlies shirt.. im so proud haha
Since you mentioned the boat lift, will you watch a video about the evacuation of Dunkirk?
I'm suggesting digging into flight 93, the one that crashed in Pennsylvania and never reached it's target. My brother in law's Dad was from Central City, PA which isn't far.from Somerset at all. I got to see the memorial in it's infancy stages. There's United 93 a movie about it and of countless videos on here. Essentially, the passengers fought back deciding they'd rather die becoming heroes than to be victims.
I don’t think becoming heroes was part of their decision making
@@paulmolloy7206Nah, that's crazy. I remember hearing something about one of the last texts was sent to a family member that he had decided it was necessary to fight them.
@@brendasmith1533 Yes, I agree but not about becoming a hero as a result
@@paulmolloy7206 I just found, read, and posted the last conversations from Flight 93. They witnessed people getting killed, the hijackers said they had a bomb, somehow they found out the other planes crashed into the World Trade Center. They were trying to save themselves. They had no reason to believe they were going to survive unless they tried to stop it. It was survival mode not hero mode.

Thanks for your interest in this subject. Our world has drastically changed because of this act of terrorism.
As always ks.
When the USA decides to do something really super important based upon intelligence we dont ask for permission from anybody. Facts.
Yes, Guantanamo Bay is in Cuba.
Pakistan kind of works with the United States.
Hey if y’all want to check out Rob O’Neil for killing Osama Bin Latin (he was the guy that actually killed Bin Latin), heads up there is some cuss words and some not so clean jokes but personally I’d recommend it
9/11 started Americas longest Wars where Fathers would go off to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan then their sons went and fought the same war. I was 9 years old on September 11th 2001 then 10 years later I was in Iraq. I remember the night we got Bin Laden
The Afghan war lasted 3 months and the Iraq war was not provoked by 911. Iraq lasted 7 years.
There was a pretty good movie about this called Zero Dark Thirty. It’s about the real life, female, CIA officer who was obsessed with finding Bin Ladin. I think it won an Oscar.
So curious how they teach 9/11 in schools nowadays.
No Allegedly about it ...
I'm a veteran, and I'm an older millennial. Your thumbnail made me smile. Seems like everything makes me feel old now.
Yeah right!! When you get old enough that STANDING UP from bed to go to the bathroom BREAKS YOUR FOOT, *_THEN_* you can call yourself old!!
@@mikeh8416 Haha alright Mr. Chairman of the Retirement Community. It'll probably be my knees first though. Take it easy on that foot. Probably broke it off in too many people anyways with the attitude you gave me HAHAaaa
@@davidt1621 Just enjoy your YOUTH!! 🙂
@@mikeh8416 Yeah yeah. Enjoy guarding your lawn 🙂
You should see a video about Ben Laden’s life before 911.
I visited Cuba back in 2019, and I was about 2 hours away from where the prison is located. I come from a US state that gets a lot of snow, and I was not prepared for the temperatures down in this region. I believe the coldest it gets when the sun is up in this area is around 78 degrees Fahrenheit. I would guess that 90% of the time the high temperature is 86 Fahrenheit or hotter. When I was in Santiago de Cuba, the people from Miami were complaining about how hot it is, and they are used to hot and humid weather.
I worked at Gitmo in "03. I'm from Ohio where it gets pretty damn cold. It was over 100 several days and on the hottest day it reached about 107 and it was still like 96° at 3:00 a.m. crazy!
@@TKMars11 I'm from south central Wisconsin. I'm used to getting 2+ weeks in the single digits or lower, and also getting temps in the 90's. When I was in the Santiago de Cuba area, it was brutally hot, and I think it was 96 or higher every single day.
OBL worked for the CIA in Afghanistan!🤫 Pakistan’s esteemed Military Academy, where the country’s top officers are trained, is the spot where the Waziristan Haveli - also known as Osama bin Laden’s compound - stood. Bin Laden was living practically under the nose of the military: The trip between his compound and the academy takes just 22 seconds. It makes sense that "Zero Dark Thirty" comes off like it was written at CIA headquarters, and that's because, for all intents and purposes, it was.
Way to twist the facts around. ObL never "worked for the CIA in Afghanistan" -- he was part of the Mujahideen, the resistance fighters opposing the Soviet invasion that began in 1979. ObL wasn't even the leader of it -- he was just a soldier at the time. The U.S. provided Stinger (shoulder-fired) missiles to the Mujahideen, and some other materiel, to help them chase the Soviets out. It was many years later that he formed aQ and turned on the U.S. and its Western allies in order to try to force them out of Saudi Arabia and the Middle East at large. Your posting implies that the CIA was paying ObL at the time of 9/11, and that's simply a lie. Under the feckless Clinton administration, the U.S. had actually been (ineptly) trying to get ObL before 9/11. And the subsequent Bush administration continued that effort. They weren't paying a guy they were trying to kill.
Moreover, the compound that ObL was found in many years later wasn't "at the spot of the Pakistani military academy" -- it was about a mile down the road. Close yes, but not on the same grounds. Did the ISI know he was there? Probably -- or at least certain agents/soldiers within the ISI probably knew -- but we'll likely never know who, specifically, knew and were protecting him.
A number of the Navy Seals that killed ObL have said that Zero Dark Thirty is pretty accurate. It wasn't a propaganda movie "written at CIA headquarters" -- it was written by journalist and screenwriter Mark Boal, who has no connection whatsoever to the CIA. He had previously written the movie The Hurt Locker, which was about a bomb disposal unit during the Iraq War. He isn't a CIA agent.
Get your facts straight and stop posting false information on UA-cam. And either delete or correct your posting.
Guantanamo Bay has been controlled by the United States since 1903 in accordance with a treaty that was signed at the time. Castro tried to get the U.S. out of Guantanamo Bay, but the Untied States declined all invitations to leave.
If you can, get the movie “Zero Dark Thirty.” The movie is about the work of a dedicated female CIA operative that proves instrumental in finally locating bin Laden. Highly recommend it.
