Manhunt: OBL – Ah yes, the heroic tale of the world’s most wanted man being hunted down… right next door to a Pakistani military academy, and apparently within GPS range of a U.S. base. But sure, let’s applaud the tenacity. What really steals the show, though, is the documentary’s Olympic-level mental gymnastics in strategic omission. Al-Qaeda’s terror attacks in India? Vanished. Nonexistent, apparently. 26/11? Never happened, move along. Or may be US want to show that al queda are freedom fighters in India as they were in Afganistan and terrorist in US at the same time. Lols.
Meanwhile, Madrid, London, and every half-baked plot elsewhere gets a full segment. It’s almost pathetic how meticulously they erased India’s suffering while checking every other geopolitical box.
At this point, the series might as well be called: “Manhunt: Hide and Seek for Dummies – Starring a Safe House Between Two Armies.”
