The Hunt For Bin Laden
My thought prior to watching the documentary, The Hunt for Bin Laden was very
inquisitive. I wanted to be informed regarding Bin Laden's capture and death. In
addition, I wanted to know his role in the terrorists attack on America.
Some important points that I gained from watching the documentary were very
informative. Bin Laden wasn't always a hated man but a leader for the anti-communists
who were fighting the Soviets. I also learned that the U.S. sent troops to help the anti-
communists and were unofficially working with Bin Laden. Later, I learned Bin Laden
was excommunicated from his homeland, Saudi Arabia. He announced his hate
towards America because he believed that the Americans had invaded the Holy Land.
Finally, I learned that although the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened during the Bush
administration, this had been an ongoing issue with the Clinton administration. There
was even a rumor that Bin Laden had plotted an assassination of President Clinton.
