SEAL Team Six: The raid on Osama bin Laden National Geographic Channel, US TV review And its air date on Sunday, two nights before the presidential election, had some partisan types worried that it might create an unfair advantage for President Obama, who had promised in his 2008 campaign to capture bin Laden. Interestingly, National Geographic Channel is owned primarily by Fox Cable Networks, a division of News Corporation. It was a woman intelligence analyst who doggedly pursued bin Laden to his Pakistani compound. Although she could never prove conclusively that the terrorist was actually living there, she ultimately prevails with circumstantial evidence. Named in the film as Vivian Hollins, her college roommate's father and brother were both killed in the 9/11 attack. Hollins is played in understated, bureaucratic style by Canadian born actress Kathleen Robertson, an otherwise powerhouse performer in the acclaimed television drama Boss starring Kelsey Grammer. Viewers also get an inside look into how action ready SEAL team members operate and relate to each other. As one SEAL noted, these highly trained soldiers "live for the call" to undertake a special operation. But the only factual surprise is that team member Cherry (played engagingly by Anson Mount), had obvious worries about the team leader, a man younger than himself. It was on his watch that a SEAL colleague was blown up by a woman terrorist.

And of course it was. File footage of President Obama's public statements are intercut with the dramatic action as well as his own thoughts on approving the raid. The show wraps up with perhaps the two best known phrases to come out of the incident. The Commanding Officer informs the White House situation room and intelligence officers, "For God and country, Geronimo is KIA." And when President Obama appears before the American people via television, he states that for a terrorist who has been responsible for the loss of thousands of lives, "justice has been done." Ah, there's the political rub. SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden will be available in the US on Netflix on November 5.
