Just Saw "Zero Dark Thirty" -- You Probably Won't Like It.

[Kablooie]

15. I saw "Zero Dark Thirty" tonight and finished reading the book 'No Easy Day' a few days ago.

The movie was almost identical to what was described in the book which was written by one of the SEALS who shot Bin Laden.

The movie is all about the woman Maya.
She's called Jen in the book, the writer admitted changing names for security reasons.
In the book she appears when training for the mission starts, about the middle of the book

I didn't think it was CIA propaganda.
It was about one woman and how she personally forced the CIA, against it's better judgement, to capture Bin Laden.
In the book she is described as being fanatically dedicated to finding him for 10 years.
In the book she also is the only person who says that it's 100% that Bin Laden was there.

As to defense of torture, they didn't get accurate info from the torture. Only when they used other methods of tracking phone calls was the intel really useful so it's more a statement against the usefulness of torture.

There are a few minor differences such as a scene in Area 51 in the movie is described as Virginia in the book but overall both accounts of the mission are nearly identical.
