Lawrence Wright, CIA Hollywood Scenarios

Author Lawrence Wright reveals that the CIA approached him in 2006 to write scenarios about what might happen if the U.S. captured Bin Laden. The intelligence community reportedly reaches out to Hollywood screenwriters to help "connect the dots" on terrorism threats. Wright argues that killing Bin Laden was a mistake because it fulfills his desire to become a martyr.
