What was being referenced was that Al-Qaeda still had terrorist cells in London and Spain in 2008 ready to cause more havoc, one of the reasons to continue the hunt for bin Laden so as try to prevent more deaths of innocent people.<br /><br />At times it's very hard for me to take adequate notes when I'm both watching the film and writing at the same time, especially in a crowded theatre where I'm trying to keep from disturbing other patrons with my little pen light. Looking back on my old notes I see they're very cramped and scribbled, indicating how difficult it was to be a reporter as well as a viewer a couple of weeks ago. From my brief jot I made the wrong assumption when I was writing the review a few days later that there had been acknowledgement of the Madrid bombing in 2004, but that was not the case.<br /><br />My apologies again for raising bad memories in an incorrect context. I'll do my best to keep that from happening again. Thanks again to anyone for helping improve the accuracy of these reviews.Ken Burke; Pat Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358623927080966157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925606367227514818.post-85965918610890657882013-01-12T18:59:38.667-08:002013-01-12T18:59:38.667-08:00Hi Stromboli, Thanks very much for reading the rev...Hi Stromboli, Thanks very much for reading the review and leaving a comment. My Spanish is terrible, but if I'm correct in understanding that you're saying <i>Zero Dark Thirty</i> does not make reference to the atrocious terrorist attack in Madrid on March 11, 2004 then I offer my apologies for this mistake and agree with you that the film should also acknowledge this brazen assault on innocent people in Spain. That's what I understood was being said in the film's dialogue, but if I was wrong I thank you for correcting me and setting the record straight.Ken Burke; Pat Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358623927080966157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925606367227514818.post-13041635610244310642013-01-12T13:46:18.846-08:002013-01-12T13:46:18.846-08:00He visto Zero Dark Thirty y en ella no se hace ref...He visto Zero Dark Thirty y en ella no se hace referencia a los atentados de Madrid, el 11-M!! Me parece que debería haber sido uno de los hitos que tenia que tratar la película, casi 200 muertos!!!<br />the movie should not have forgotten the 11 MSTROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127550520069616175noreply@blogger.com
