'We delivered justice' in bin Laden raid, Kelton says

Fifteen years have passed since the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, the world’s most-wanted terrorist. In May 2011, Mark Kelton served as the CIA’s top official in Pakistan, where bin Laden met his demise. In a recent Compass Points episode, Kelton shared an inside look at the dangerous operation and the intelligence that led up to it. "Vengeance can be, you know, portrayed in people's mind as a negative thing," Kelton told host Nick Schifrin. "Sometimes vengeance is necessary. In this case, it was." Compass Points from PBS News analyzes prominent international affairs topics and America’s role in a shifting world, breaking down global conflicts, rising tensions, and their implications for U.S. interests.
