Reflecting on American vengeance.

I was prepared to do everything in my power to bring him to justice.

Tonight, the culmination of the nearly 10-year-long hunt for Osama bin Laden

and an inside look at the raid that brought him to justice.

That's coming up on Compass Points.

Hello and welcome to Compass Points. It's been 15 years since America found and killed the world's most notorious terrorist, Osama bin Laden.

Last week, Mark Kelton, the CIA's chief of station in Islamabad, walked us through the fierce

seals did what the seals do. It's worth taking a minute, because in many of the histories

of this moment and everything that led up to it, that is such an extraordinary moment.

We went back, director Leon Panetta, had this to say about that moment when the helicopter goes down.

He said one of those, oh, expletive moments, right?

And Ben Rhodes was also in the room, Deputy National Career Advisor, said this.
