CIA Commander Gary Berntsen: We Had Bin Laden Cornered—Then Help Was Denied

Former CIA commander Gary Berntsen led counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks—and personally pursued Osama bin Laden into the mountains of Tora Bora.

In this explosive conversation with Joe Pags, Berntsen reveals what the CIA knew before 9/11, the missed opportunities to eliminate bin Laden, and the extraordinary orders he received after the attacks. He explains how his team cornered bin Laden, why he requested 800 Army Rangers to block the escape route, and what happened when that support never arrived.

Berntsen also addresses Pakistan’s role, the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the decisions that allowed America’s most wanted terrorist to remain free for nearly another decade.

This is the inside story from the man who was there.
