this was osama bin laden's window on the world. inside the compound, a scorched roof, a sign of the struggle here. the u.s. claims bin laden might have lived in this fortress for as long as five years. pakistan's powerful spy agency, the isi, says that they raided the place in 2003, but then it dropped off the radar. they said that they were embarrassed by the failure. this local man insisted that security forces let no one passed unnoticed here. >> all of these people when they came in the night to their house, they always checked their id cards. they ask you for the id card, where you live, they would ask you in the evening. >> we are outside the compound. the house itself is clearly visible. you can see how very conspicuous all of this is with the high perimeter walls and the barbwire on top. it is easy to understand why the americans are asking so many questions. they want to know how bin laden managed to live here. they believe he must have had a support system. they're asking how high did that go. pakistan's premier military

we see two osama bin ladens. we see this man without his beard died, hunched over, blanket, wool cap. intentionally watching himself of tv. he said, honestly with don't know why he allowed us to film these videos. his beard died black, hair black, sitting in front of the camera, reading messages. the u.s. government did not distribute the audio because they said they felt they would bo in the position of broadca broadcasting his own. where does this leave us? what we're told is this haul of intelligence from the compound, videos, documents, dvds, thumb drives, all of it, according to the single official is, quote, the singest largest collection of terrorist materials ever. another video. in front of a wrinkled sheet. still untidy but reading off a script. they believe as a result of kyming osama bin laden, al qaeda is disrupted. they're struggling to name a success sore. you'll note they did not name a successor. the world assumed that it will be the egyptian ahman al zawahiri. he had his own enemies. they don't

this hunt either for osama bin laden. we're coming up now on the tenth anniversary of those 9/11 attacks. how different that anniversary will be this year now that osama bin laden is dead. >> incredible difference, particularly when you mark a decade these families have waited for some sort of justice. jake mentioned the polls as recently as this last fall that 67% of americans never thought osama bin laden would be captured or killed. he continued to taunt the united states with those audiotapes. three in the last year. the last was in march where he threatened to kill captured americans if sheikh mohammed khalid was not key leased. just this evening on "world news" we featured a young boy who grew up in lower manhattan, a kindergartener when those towers were falling that morning. he saw it happen, saw people jump from the offices and a firefighter running to him at the scene, a little boy, he said it never left him and that's what drove the documentary. that's the sentiment we'll hear over and over again as we continue

bin laden videos seized at the compound during the raid and during the killing of osama bin laden right here in the newsroom right here after this. >>> back to our big story today, a new look inside the world of osama bin laden through his personal collection of videos. they were discovered in the compound after sunday's raid which killed him. the pentagon released them just a short time ago. they include images of the al qaeda leader, recording unreleased messages for the world, presumably to spread more terror and probably most interesting, a private video of him watching himself on television wrapped in a blanket. another shows bin laden in a robe. the pentagon says it's the biggest part of an intelligence haul. senior national security contributor fran townsend joins us from our d.c. studios. what do you make of this? >> look. i think the u.s. government having decided not to release the sort of gruesome death photos of bin laden were looking for a way to convince the world and others that he was really dead and that the u.s. government is now in control of the bin laden message. so

now we have killed osama bin laden. it's time at the very least to reduce our presence there, to reduce our footprint and to find a way out. i think this gives ammunition and probably considerable popular support to those who want a real retrenchment of the u.s. position in afghanistan and not just a token withdrawal. >> eugene robinson, msnbc political analyst. gene, it is always great to see you. thanks my friend. >> great to be here, rachel. >> one piece of information, the one thing on which almost everyone now agrees is that osama bin laden is dead. beyond that there are the incredible, compelling, thrilling narratives of what happened in the siege that killed him. how that all happened. the stories all feature tenacious spy work, daring decision making and superhuman courage. that said, the stories are all different. the stories all say that different things happened. different people did stuff. different numbers of people did stuff. they did stuff in different orders and it had different effects. an attempt to cl
