OT: Zero Dark Thirty

Go watch it. ASAP. Tremendous movie.

Deshea Townsend doesn't actually kill UBL, but he does do some bench presses and there is a scrawny white guy spotting him. Just sayin'....**

I've read a lot about that decade...

There are several exceptional books on the subject although keeping all the Muslim names straight is a *****. It's a fascinating and complicated subject. We are completely 17'ed in Pakistan, btw. The crazies have hold of it and we'll never get the country back on our side.

I thought ZDT was a hell of a good movie. Probably accurate on the overall gist of how we found him but there's no way Bigelow could cover it all in 157 minutes.

And if I were asked to make a bet... I'd wager Maya was a man in real life.

Her character was actually a woman. Buddy of mine read the book that the large portion of the movie was based on. Can't remember the name of it though. Great movie though. Downloaded it last week and watched it twice already.

I've heard she was a woman that literally obsessed over bin laden

I thought chastain did a great job with a tough role. I thought the movie was probably in my all time top 10. I wish they would have gone into more detail on tracking the courier. For example, the CIA bought an apt complex across from the compound. But like you said, no way you could fit it all in.

Those crazies have nukes. Our current administration knows something we don't or they don't seem to care too much about that fact.
