As we approach the 9/11 anniversary, we sat down with journalist Peter Bergen, one of the leading experts on Osama bin Laden. I spoke with him about his fantastic book — “The Rise and Fall is Osama bin Laden.” We discussed why he believes we are safer today - 20 years after the terrorist attacks. What the exit from Afghanistan means for US security and why he believes that the real threat inside the US comes from radicalized domestic terrorists. He is one of the very few western journalists to have met Osama bin Laden.
