On the Trail and Inside the Mind of Osama bin Laden (Rebroadcast)

In Episode 67 of his podcast "In the Room with Peter Bergen," New America Vice President and ASU Professor of Practice Peter Bergen returns to a prior episode on the hunt for Bin Laden featuring among others, a former CIA analyst Gina Bennett, who was featured in Episode 66's examination of Trump's plans to reshape the intelligence community if he wins.

It's impossible to understand the events of 9/11 without understanding Osama bin Laden. Who was he? What was he hoping to achieve with the attack? How did the U.S. track him down? And what can we learn from that story now? Three women—a CIA analyst, an FBI investigator, and a scholar who read 6,000 pages of documents recovered from bin Laden’s compound after he was killed—recount how they came to know and understand Osama bin Laden.
