Just because I was the chief of operations on Osama Bin Laden didn't mean there wasn't somebody else working on the same issue in an opposite direction. And as it turned out, the opposite direction carried the day with the approval of presidents. As Brennan was withholding critical information on bin Laden, the CIA's Counterterrorism center started developing a plan to capture bin Laden at a terrorist training facility known as Tarnak Farms. Tarnak Farms is where he lived. We knew Osama bin Laden, his family, Zawahiri's family, and a couple of other the most senior al Qaeda people were going to be there. (08:34–08:46)
