This was the first TV interview Osama (Usama) Bin Laden permitted. It was conducted in 1997 by CNN's Peter Arnett, Peter Bergen and photographer Peter Jouvenal. The CNN team was taken to an undisclosed location in Afghanistan for the interview.
(Related "No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission that Killed Osama Bin Laden")
Peter Gregg Arnett, ONZM (born 13 November 1934, Riverton, New Zealand) is a New Zealand journalist.
Arnett worked for National Geographic magazine, and later for various television networks, most notably CNN. He is well known for his coverage of war, including the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. He was awarded the 1966 Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting for his work in Vietnam, where he was present from 1962 to 1975, most of the time reporting for the Associated Press news agency. In 1994, Arnett wrote Live from the Battlefield: From Vietnam to Baghdad, 35 Years in the World's War Zones. In March 1997, Arnett was able to interview Osama bin Laden. The Journalism School at the Southern Institute of Technology is named after him.
Some of Arnett's early days in journalism were in Southeast Asia, particularly Bangkok. He started out running a small English-language newspaper in Laos in 1960.[2] Eventually, he made his way to Vietnam where he was a reporter for the Associated Press. He worked with other AP staff in their Saigon office writing a number of important articles, such as "Death of Supply Column 21", which attracted the ire of the American government.[2] In July 1963, he was punched in the nose by South Vietnamese undercover police while covering Buddhist protests.
He went on dozens of missions with troops, including during the traumatic battle of Hill 875, in which a detachment went to try to rescue another unit of soldiers that was stranded in hostile territory. They themselves were nearly killed during the rescue. In September 1972 he accompanied a group of U.S. peace activists, including William Sloane Coffin and David Dellinger, to Hanoi, North Vietnam to bring three prisoners of war back to the United States.
Arnett got into trouble for writing in an unvarnished manner when trying to report the stories of ordinary soldiers and civilians. Arnett's writing often was perceived as negative. General William Westmoreland and president Lyndon B. Johnson and other people in power had battles with the AP over trying to get Arnett removed from his assignment.
Arnett's most famous act of reporting from the Vietnam War was a story published on 7 February 1968, about the provincial capital Bến Tre: "'It became necessary to destroy the town to save it,' a United States major said today. He was talking about the decision by allied commanders to bomb and shell the town regardless of civilian casualties, to rout the Vietcong."[3] The quotation was distorted in subsequent publications, eventually becoming the more familiar, "We had to destroy the village in order to save it."[4] The accuracy of the original quotation and its source have often been called into question. Arnett never revealed his source, except to say that it was one of four officers he interviewed that day.[4] US Army Major Phil Cannella, the senior officer present at Bến Tre, suggested that the quotation might have been a distortion of something he said to Arnett.[4] The New Republic at the time attributed the quotation to US Air Force Major Chester L. Brown.[5] In Walter Cronkite's 1971 book, Eye on the World, Arnett reasserted that the quotation was something "one American major said to me in a moment of revelation."[6]
Arnett was one of the last western reporters in Saigon after its capture by the North Vietnamese Army, and met with NVA soldiers who showed him how they had entered the city.
Arnett was the writer of a 1980 mini-series documentary - Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War.
Peter Arnett appeared in Robert Wiener's book Live from Baghdad. He appeared as a character in the 2002 HBO film of the same name where he was portrayed by actor Bruce McGill.
The book as well as the film features Arnett's works as part of Wiener's crew in Baghdad that he joined after tensions between Iraq and the West heightened toward an imminent military encounter. CNN sent Arnett to Baghdad because of his experiences in covering military conflicts. Arnett was part of the epic live coverage of 17 January Baghdad air strike where he along with colleagues Bernard Shaw and John Holliman bravely kept broadcasting from their Al-Rasheed Hotel room amid extensive aerial bombing by the Western Coalition forces near and around.

Vietnam War
The Vietnam War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh Việt Nam), also known as the Second Indochina War, and also known in Vietnam as Resistance War Against America (Vietnamese: Kháng chiến chống Mỹ) or simply the American War, was a Cold War-era proxy war that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. This war followed the First Indochina War (1946–54) and was fought between North Vietnam—supported by the Soviet Union, China and other communist allies—and the government of South Vietnam—supported by the United States, Philippines and other anti-communist allies. The Viet Cong (also known as the National Liberation Front, or NLF), a South Vietnamese communist common front aided by the North, fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region. The People's Army of Vietnam, also known as the North Vietnamese Army (NVA), engaged in a more conventional war, at times committing large units to battle.
As the war continued, the part of the Viet Cong in the fighting decreased as the role of the NVA grew. U.S. and South Vietnamese forces relied on air superiority and overwhelming firepower to conduct search and destroy operations, involving ground forces, artillery, and airstrikes. In the course of the war, the U.S. conducted a large-scale strategic bombing campaign against North Vietnam.

Pulitzer Prize
The Pulitzer Prize /ˈpʊlᵻtsər/ is an award for achievements in newspaper and online journalism, literature, and musical composition in the United States. It was established in 1917 by provisions in the will of American (Hungarian-born) publisher Joseph Pulitzer, and is administered by Columbia University in New York City. Prizes are awarded yearly in twenty-one categories. In twenty of the categories, each winner receives a certificate and a US$10,000 cash award. The winner in the public service category of the journalism competition is awarded a gold medal.
Entry and prize consideration
The Pulitzer Prize does not automatically consider all applicable works in the media, but only those that have specifically entered. (There is a $50 entry fee, paid for each desired entry category.) Entries must fit in at least one of the specific prize categories, and cannot simply gain entrance for being literary or musical. Works can also only be entered in a maximum of two categories, regardless of their properties.

Saddam Hussein
Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (Arabic: صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي Ṣaddām Ḥusayn ʿAbd al-Maǧīd al-Tikrītī; 28 April 1937 – 30 December 2006) was the fifth President of Iraq, serving in this capacity from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003. A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, and later, the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organization Ba'ath Party – Iraq Region—which espoused Ba'athism, a mix of Arab nationalism and socialism—Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup (later referred to as the 17 July Revolution) that brought the party to power in Iraq.
As vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr, and at a time when many groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government, Saddam created security forces through which he tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces. In the early 1970s, Saddam nationalized oil and other industries. The state-owned banks were put under his control, leaving the system eventually insolvent mostly due to the Iran–Iraq War, the Gulf War, and UN sanctions. Through the 1970s, Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatuses of government as oil money helped Iraq's economy to grow at a rapid pace. Positions of power in the country were mostly filled with Sunni Arabs, a minority that made up only a fifth of the population.

The year was 1982. The American Auto Industry was criticized for the quality of its products. The 24 hour news channel, Ted Turner's CNN went to Investigative Reporter Robert Vito and asked if he could put together a series telling the story of Detroit's Big Three automakers taking back the auto industry in 'Detroit Fights Back'. This story was produced by Robert Vito and brought print reporter Peter Arnett to the television screen. It was this series of stories which led to the opening of CNN's Detroit Bureau, with Robert Vito its Bureau-Chief and Correspondent. A great story and part of automotive history. -

12:32Valley of Death: Operation Tailwind
Valley of Death: Operation TailwindValley of Death: Operation Tailwind
In 1970, a special forces team of 16 Americans and 140 Montagnard mercenaries embarked in an "over the fence" mission into Laos, where they were to act as a diversionary force for a CIA mission 60 miles to the north. For 72 hours, the team was surrounded by enemy forces and constant combat. They escaped with the largest cache of enemy intelligence documents ever recovered in the war, and only three of their 156 soldiers killed. In 1998, CNN ran an expose titled "Valley of Death: New Voices." In this piece, producers April Oliver and Peter Arnett claimed that the U.S. dropped Sarin nerve gas during the mission--a violation of the Geneva Conventions. This sparked an international controversy, despite there being no proof of the allegations. Ultimately, Oliver and Arnett were fired from CNN over the report. The video you are watching now is a project I wrote and produced at the behest of and with tremendous support from Jim Moriarty, who owns the copyright for the project, and was the driving force behind making sure this story was told. Jim also represented the veterans interviewed for this piece, as their attorney in the case against CNN. Bradford Eu, of Eu Entertainment, was a co-producer on this piece, and did amazing work with a compressed timeline and budget. Todd Hewey, of Reel Adventures Productions, Inc., was the original Executive Producer of what would have been a full-length documentary built around hundreds of hours of interview footage. Todd directed most of the interview segments you'll see in this video, and did an incredible job of drawing out the personal stories of the veterans as well as the technical details of the mission. The piece never developed beyond this 12-minute trailer, and I think that's a shame. The men who fought on this SOG mission were heroes, and they faced one of their greatest battles not in the fields of Vietnam, but in the public eye, under the scrutiny of April Oliver and her team at CNN, decades after the last shot was fired in the conflict. They ultimately lost that battle, and I hold to this day that the decision was an injustice. But then, I'm not a judge, nor a lawyer, nor a veteran. I have opinions, and those are worth pretty much nothing. I was proud and honored to be a part of this project. And even now I find myself drawn back to it again and again. There are still hundreds of hours of interviews sitting unused. There are thousands of photographs, copies of hand-written letters, and stacks of legal documentation and pleadings for justice to be done. This story is immense. It would make a great film in its own right. Maybe some day it will be. The video itself is old. It's standard definition, and so it looks a bit grainy to our eyes that are used to high definition. And some of the CG is antiquated and a little comical, in its way. But if you'll look past that, and listen to the story these men are telling, you'll discover something amazing here. I hope you enjoy it. If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave them in the comments or visit my website at http://kevintumlinson.com and send me an email. I'm not longer in "the business," and have gone on to write fiction for a living. But I'm happy to answer questions or make connections. You should also visit http://moriarty.com to contact Jim Moriarty about this story. Jim owns the copyright for all of the materials used in this video. If you're looking for high-end video production, contact Brad Eu at http://euentertainment.com — he's one of the best in the business. ADDITIONAL NOTE: Gary Rose, the medic on the mission who helped save numerous lives, has been nominated for the Medal of Honor, and the possibility that he'll receive it is growing. "Doc" Rose was the absolute epitome of bravery during the mission, and his Medal of Honor is long overdue. -

Peter Arnett was one of the young reporters who were went to Vietnam in the early years and stayed. He didn't rely on the information that headquarters handed out but instead went to the front lines and saw with his own eyes how the war was going. He'd interview the soldiers, and get their take on things. What he saw and heard was a far cry from the official story being offered at briefings in Saigon and past out in Washington. Some of the older reporters, mostly from the WWII era, ran the fabricated stories they were handed in Vietnam and back in Washington. There was a generation gap.

Valley of Death: Operation Tailwind
In 1970, a special forces team of 16 Americans and 140 Montagnard mercenaries embarked in an "over the fence" mission into Laos, where they were to act as a diversionary force for a CIA mission 60 miles to the north. For 72 hours, the team was surrounded by enemy forces and constant combat. They escaped with the largest cache of enemy intelligence documents ever recovered in the war, and only three of their 156 soldiers killed. In 1998, CNN ran an expose titled "Valley of Death: New Voices." In this piece, producers April Oliver and Peter Arnett claimed that the U.S. dropped Sarin nerve gas during the mission--a violation of the Geneva Conventions. This sparked an international controversy, despite there being no proof of the allegations. Ultimately, Oliver and Arnett were fired from CNN ...

Pulitzer Prize Winning Reporter Peter Arnett Talks About His Years in Vietnam
Peter Arnett was one of the young reporters who were went to Vietnam in the early years and stayed. He didn't rely on the information that headquarters handed out but instead went to the front lines and saw with his own eyes how the war was going. He'd interview the soldiers, and get their take on things. What he saw and heard was a far cry from the official story being offered at briefings in Saigon and past out in Washington. Some of the older reporters, mostly from the WWII era, ran the fabricated stories they were handed in Vietnam and back in Washington. There was a generation gap.

Peter Gregg Arnett, ONZM (born 13 November 1934, Riverton, New Zealand) is a New Zealand journalist.
Arnett worked for National Geographic magazine, and later for various television networks, most notably CNN. He is well known for his coverage of war, including the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. He was awarded the 1966 Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting for his work in Vietnam, where he was present from 1962 to 1975, most of the time reporting for the Associated Press news agency. In 1994, Arnett wrote Live from the Battlefield: From Vietnam to Baghdad, 35 Years in the World's War Zones. In March 1997, Arnett was able to interview Osama bin Laden. The Journalism School at the Southern Institute of Technology is named after him.
Some of Arnett's early days in journalism were in Southeast Asia, particularly Bangkok. He started out running a small English-language newspaper in Laos in 1960.[2] Eventually, he made his way to Vietnam where he was a reporter for the Associated Press. He worked with other AP staff in their Saigon office writing a number of important articles, such as "Death of Supply Column 21", which attracted the ire of the American government.[2] In July 1963, he was punched in the nose by South Vietnamese undercover police while covering Buddhist protests.
He went on dozens of missions with troops, including during the traumatic battle of Hill 875, in which a detachment went to try to rescue another unit of soldiers that was stranded in hostile territory. They themselves were nearly killed during the rescue. In September 1972 he accompanied a group of U.S. peace activists, including William Sloane Coffin and David Dellinger, to Hanoi, North Vietnam to bring three prisoners of war back to the United States.
Arnett got into trouble for writing in an unvarnished manner when trying to report the stories of ordinary soldiers and civilians. Arnett's writing often was perceived as negative. General William Westmoreland and president Lyndon B. Johnson and other people in power had battles with the AP over trying to get Arnett removed from his assignment.
Arnett's most famous act of reporting from the Vietnam War was a story published on 7 February 1968, about the provincial capital Bến Tre: "'It became necessary to destroy the town to save it,' a United States major said today. He was talking about the decision by allied commanders to bomb and shell the town regardless of civilian casualties, to rout the Vietcong."[3] The quotation was distorted in subsequent publications, eventually becoming the more familiar, "We had to destroy the village in order to save it."[4] The accuracy of the original quotation and its source have often been called into question. Arnett never revealed his source, except to say that it was one of four officers he interviewed that day.[4] US Army Major Phil Cannella, the senior officer present at Bến Tre, suggested that the quotation might have been a distortion of something he said to Arnett.[4] The New Republic at the time attributed the quotation to US Air Force Major Chester L. Brown.[5] In Walter Cronkite's 1971 book, Eye on the World, Arnett reasserted that the quotation was something "one American major said to me in a moment of revelation."[6]
Arnett was one of the last western reporters in Saigon after its capture by the North Vietnamese Army, and met with NVA soldiers who showed him how they had entered the city.
Arnett was the writer of a 1980 mini-series documentary - Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War.
Peter Arnett appeared in Robert Wiener's book Live from Baghdad. He appeared as a character in the 2002 HBO film of the same name where he was portrayed by actor Bruce McGill.
The book as well as the film features Arnett's works as part of Wiener's crew in Baghdad that he joined after tensions between Iraq and the West heightened toward an imminent military encounter. CNN sent Arnett to Baghdad because of his experiences in covering military conflicts. Arnett was part of the epic live coverage of 17 January Baghdad air strike where he along with colleagues Bernard Shaw and John Holliman bravely kept broadcasting from their Al-Rasheed Hotel room amid extensive aerial bombing by the Western Coalition forces near and around.

In 1970, a special forces team of 16 Americans and 140 Montagnard mercenaries embarked in an "over the fence" mission into Laos, where they were to act as a diversionary force for a CIA mission 60 miles to the north. For 72 hours, the team was surrounded by enemy forces and constant combat. They escaped with the largest cache of enemy intelligence documents ever recovered in the war, and only three of their 156 soldiers killed.
In 1998, CNN ran an expose titled "Valley of Death: New Voices." In this piece, producers April Oliver and Peter Arnett claimed that the U.S. dropped Sarin nerve gas during the mission--a violation of the Geneva Conventions. This sparked an international controversy, despite there being no proof of the allegations. Ultimately, Oliver and Arnett were fired from CNN over the report.
The video you are watching now is a project I wrote and produced at the behest of and with tremendous support from Jim Moriarty, who owns the copyright for the project, and was the driving force behind making sure this story was told. Jim also represented the veterans interviewed for this piece, as their attorney in the case against CNN.
Bradford Eu, of Eu Entertainment, was a co-producer on this piece, and did amazing work with a compressed timeline and budget.
Todd Hewey, of Reel Adventures Productions, Inc., was the original Executive Producer of what would have been a full-length documentary built around hundreds of hours of interview footage. Todd directed most of the interview segments you'll see in this video, and did an incredible job of drawing out the personal stories of the veterans as well as the technical details of the mission.
The piece never developed beyond this 12-minute trailer, and I think that's a shame. The men who fought on this SOG mission were heroes, and they faced one of their greatest battles not in the fields of Vietnam, but in the public eye, under the scrutiny of April Oliver and her team at CNN, decades after the last shot was fired in the conflict. They ultimately lost that battle, and I hold to this day that the decision was an injustice. But then, I'm not a judge, nor a lawyer, nor a veteran. I have opinions, and those are worth pretty much nothing.
I was proud and honored to be a part of this project. And even now I find myself drawn back to it again and again. There are still hundreds of hours of interviews sitting unused. There are thousands of photographs, copies of hand-written letters, and stacks of legal documentation and pleadings for justice to be done. This story is immense. It would make a great film in its own right. Maybe some day it will be.
The video itself is old. It's standard definition, and so it looks a bit grainy to our eyes that are used to high definition. And some of the CG is antiquated and a little comical, in its way. But if you'll look past that, and listen to the story these men are telling, you'll discover something amazing here. I hope you enjoy it.
If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave them in the comments or visit my website at http://kevintumlinson.com and send me an email. I'm not longer in "the business," and have gone on to write fiction for a living. But I'm happy to answer questions or make connections.
You should also visit http://moriarty.com to contact Jim Moriarty about this story. Jim owns the copyright for all of the materials used in this video.
If you're looking for high-end video production, contact Brad Eu at http://euentertainment.com — he's one of the best in the business.
ADDITIONAL NOTE:
Gary Rose, the medic on the mission who helped save numerous lives, has been nominated for the Medal of Honor, and the possibility that he'll receive it is growing. "Doc" Rose was the absolute epitome of bravery during the mission, and his Medal of Honor is long overdue.

Peter Arnett was one of the young reporters who were went to Vietnam in the early years and stayed. He didn't rely on the information that headquarters handed out but instead went to the front lines and saw with his own eyes how the war was going.
He'd interview the soldiers, and get their take on things. What he saw and heard was a far cry from the official story being offered at briefings in Saigon and past out in Washington.
Some of the older reporters, mostly from the WWII era, ran the fabricated stories they were handed in Vietnam and back in Washington.
There was a generation gap.

Peter Gregg Arnett, ONZM (born 13 November 1934, Riverton, New Zealand) is a New Zealand journalist.
Arnett worked for National Geographic magazine, and later for various television networks, most notably CNN. He is well known for his coverage of war, including the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. He was awarded the 1966 Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting for his work in Vietnam, where he was present from 1962 to 1975, most of the time reporting for the Associated Press news agency. In 1994, Arnett wrote Live from the Battlefield: From Vietnam to Baghdad, 35 Years in the World's War Zones. In March 1997, Arnett was able to interview Osama bin Laden. The Journalism School at the Southern Institute of Technology is named after him.
Some of Arnett's early days in journalism were in Southeast Asia, particularly Bangkok. He started out running a small English-language newspaper in Laos in 1960.[2] Eventually, he made his way to Vietnam where he was a reporter for the Associated Press. He worked with other AP staff in their Saigon office writing a number of important articles, such as "Death of Supply Column 21", which attracted the ire of the American government.[2] In July 1963, he was punched in the nose by South Vietnamese undercover police while covering Buddhist protests.
He went on dozens of missions with troops, including during the traumatic battle of Hill 875, in which a detachment went to try to rescue another unit of soldiers that was stranded in hostile territory. They themselves were nearly killed during the rescue. In September 1972 he accompanied a group of U.S. peace activists, including William Sloane Coffin and David Dellinger, to Hanoi, North Vietnam to bring three prisoners of war back to the United States.
Arnett got into trouble for writing in an unvarnished manner when trying to report the stories of ordinary soldiers and civilians. Arnett's writing often was perceived as negative. General William Westmoreland and president Lyndon B. Johnson and other people in power had battles with the AP over trying to get Arnett removed from his assignment.
Arnett's most famous act of reporting from the Vietnam War was a story published on 7 February 1968, about the provincial capital Bến Tre: "'It became necessary to destroy the town to save it,' a United States major said today. He was talking about the decision by allied commanders to bomb and shell the town regardless of civilian casualties, to rout the Vietcong."[3] The quotation was distorted in subsequent publications, eventually becoming the more familiar, "We had to destroy the village in order to save it."[4] The accuracy of the original quotation and its source have often been called into question. Arnett never revealed his source, except to say that it was one of four officers he interviewed that day.[4] US Army Major Phil Cannella, the senior officer present at Bến Tre, suggested that the quotation might have been a distortion of something he said to Arnett.[4] The New Republic at the time attributed the quotation to US Air Force Major Chester L. Brown.[5] In Walter Cronkite's 1971 book, Eye on the World, Arnett reasserted that the quotation was something "one American major said to me in a moment of revelation."[6]
Arnett was one of the last western reporters in Saigon after its capture by the North Vietnamese Army, and met with NVA soldiers who showed him how they had entered the city.
Arnett was the writer of a 1980 mini-series documentary - Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War.
Peter Arnett appeared in Robert Wiener's book Live from Baghdad. He appeared as a character in the 2002 HBO film of the same name where he was portrayed by actor Bruce McGill.
The book as well as the film features Arnett's works as part of Wiener's crew in Baghdad that he joined after tensions between Iraq and the West heightened toward an imminent military encounter. CNN sent Arnett to Baghdad because of his experiences in covering military conflicts. Arnett was part of the epic live coverage of 17 January Baghdad air strike where he along with colleagues Bernard Shaw and John Holliman bravely kept broadcasting from their Al-Rasheed Hotel room amid extensive aerial bombing by the Western Coalition forces near and around.
