The U.S. government released a trove of documents and digital books allegedly found in Osama Bin Laden's Abbottabad compound in 2011. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports on the "CEO of Al-Qaeda Central" and his reading list, which included works by Bob Woodward and Noam Chomsky. The timing of the release is questioned, with suggestions it was intended to counter Seymour Hersh's recent investigative reporting on the raid.
