CIA | Message from the Acting Director: "Zero Dark Thirty" CIA chief sends out extraordinary email to entire staff complaining about agency's portrayal in Zero Dark Thirty The CIA's acting director has sent out a scathing public deploration of film Zero Dark Thirty to his entire staff after watching what he calls entertaining historical inaccuracies in its portrayal of the raid of Osama bin Laden's compound. Billed as 'the story of history's greatest manhunt for the world's most dangerous man' by using firsthand accounts, the film recounts U.S. troops' top secret mission while highlighting the first hours of May 1st of 2011. 'I would not normally comment on a Hollywood film, but I think it's important to put Zero Dark Thirty which deals with one of the most significant achievements in our history, into some context,' Mike Morell began in his note to his staff on Friday. Statement to Employees from Acting Director Michael Morell: "Zero Dark Thirty"December 21, 2012 Quote:
![]() Hollywood portrayal: Actress Jessica Chastain is seen in a scene from new film Zero Dark Thirty which has been most recently criticized by acting CIA director Mike Morell for historical inaccuracies ![]() Not a fan: Acting CIA Director Michael Morell lambasted the film in a public statement to his employees on Friday claiming it doesn't fairly portray what really happened in 2011 or the decade of work beforehand ![]() Hot and cold: The film, one scene pictured, has since been nominated for four Golden Globes despite mutually searing criticism from Washington ![]() Criticisms: Among Mr Morell's complaints of the film, pictured, are its depiction of torture used by U.S. troops to gain information and the mission's credit given to a select number of people http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...al-agency.html |

Re: CIA | Message from the Acting Director: "Zero Dark Thirty" Um, he has a point. People actually believe what they see in films, most importantly, a lot of Americans see it as fact. Remember U571? The Enigma machine film? Why America fuck yeah took the Enigma machine and not the British! ![]() You might think people cannot be that stupid but they are, a large number of them are very stupid indeed. |

Re: CIA | Message from the Acting Director: "Zero Dark Thirty" it seems to me that this guy is nitpicking little things, for example, Titanic.. the scene where the guys go down playing violin.. how the fuck would we know if that was real or not? its just put in there for the movie. You can't expect everything in a "Based on a True Story" movie to be 100% accurate. |

They had a chance to leave because they were not riff-raff. They played on till the end. Survivors told of a band playing and over the years it was pieced together that it was true. I believe there is a documentary about it. |
