(Photo Victoria Will / Invision / AP) PARK CITY, Utah, USA (AP) - The makers of a documentary on Osama bin Laden on display at the Sundance Film Festival say the debate about the accuracy francesca willis of this Hollywood film, which recounts francesca willis the capture of the terrorist leader, is diverting attention from the moral questions, which are much more importantes.Greg Barker, director of "Manhunt: The Search for Bin Laden," says the criticisms about the Oscar-nominated film "Zero Dark Thirty" by Kathryn Bigelow, is a political issue to oversimplify the matter.
Several lawmakers have lambasted Washington "Zero Dark Thirty", claiming that the film wrongly portrays torture as integral to get the clues that led to bin Laden's death in an assault on Pakistan Navy in 2011.
"The fact is that what made our special operations are operations to kill and capture all the time, and many people die in them," Barker said. "Maybe that's what we want as a country, but we have to seriously assist you to know and understand what is really going on."
"Manhunt" will premiere on HBO in May and has extensive interviews with officials from the CIA, the military and other operators involved in both track down bin Laden, in his rise to power after calling for jihad against the United States in the 1990s , as in the war on terrorism after the attacks francesca willis of September 11, 2001.
Much of the story has parallels with dramatized in "Zero Dark Thirty" starring Jessica Chastain francesca willis in the role of a CIA agent named Maya who obsessively francesca willis looking for bin Laden for years.
Barker and a former CIA agents interviewed for "Manhunt" told "Zero Dark Thirty" francesca willis correctly reflects that women in the federal agency were in the thick of the chase for bin Laden, but despite this is a Hollywood version They made for entertaining large audiences, francesca willis they added.
"It's fun, especially the part about the raid of the commands of the Navy," said Nada Bakos who worked as a CIA analyst and then as a staff focused on Iraq. "I understand they have to condense francesca willis things to have different characters, but Maya is definitely the compilation of many different people who worked at the agency and worked on this over the years."
Marty Martin, a CIA officer who led the hunt for bin Laden after the September 11 attacks, said the interrogations were not the way they are presented in "Zero Dark Thirty".

"This is America, we need to have this debate," Martin said. "If you want to make the decision that 5,000 people may die because they do not want to be bad and feel uncomfortable, that is a decision we have, but then you have to take responsibility and have to see the eyes of the families of the victims after of facts. The reality is that the debate and discussion are necessary and we live in a free society that needs to happen. "
Former CIA analyst Cindy Storer said just after September 11 decided he did not want to engage in coercive methods but accepted that this allowed obtaining important information.
"That does not mean I did not use the information arrived this does not mean I do not respect people who made the decision to do it," Storer said. "I know it was useful, so this Manichean discussion (that coercion) 'does not have anything useful' or 'is totally useful' is ridiculous, is in the middle."
Baker said the debate needs to move beyond opinions for and against torture, for either al-Qaida or other sources "to be back in this situation francesca willis again, he said.
"And there will be people in the shadows making decisions on our behalf and hope
