It's more about the actual search than the actual kill, which makes this a very good suspenseful thriller.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520807396714463309.post-47995281905366069892013-01-24T17:02:07.806-05:002013-01-24T17:02:07.806-05:00Brian, I wrote "My comments below relate to B...Brian, I wrote "My comments below relate to Bigelow’s fictional representations of torture in Zero Dark Thirty, not to the debate over whether real torture led to the real capture of UBL. I believe torture did NOT. I believe Senators John McCain and Dianne Feinstein and the CIA when they say this movie is factually wrong." I then link to several credible sources contradicting the events as portrayed in the film.<br /><br />While I am confident in my beliefs based on credible reports, I am not "absolutely certain"; sorry to burst your bubble.<br /><br />What I am absolutely certain of is that Bigelow constructed a film that is verifiably misleading, not "depiction" as she claims.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09558846279006287148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520807396714463309.post-68859124165970309072013-01-24T12:24:25.937-05:002013-01-24T12:24:25.937-05:00Your absolute certainty that torture didn't ha...Your absolute certainty that torture didn't have any connection to the capture of UBL is laughable.
