Bin Laden movie ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ slammed by senators for ‘grossly inaccurate’ torture scenes
Author: Ian Simpson
Members of the Senate have called Zero Dark Thirty, Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigalow’s Bin Laden movie, “grossly inaccurate” in its portrayal of US-sanctioned torture. In a letter to Sony Pictures Entertainment, Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Carl Levin (D-MI) and John McCain (R-AZ) said the movie was a “deep disappointment,” labeling it “misleading in its suggestion that torture resulted in information that led to the location” of the Al Qaeda leader.
