'Manhunt' author Peter Bergen says Bin Laden document release could damage Al Qaeda

UPDATED 10:11am ET: Since the airing of this segment, the documents have been posted online here.

From earlier this morning:

In just a few hours from now, the proverbial curtain is going to be lifted off of some of Osama Bin Laden's plans for future of al Qaeda and also the way he was living before he died.

It is a huge haul of documents: Hard drives, flash drives, all sorts of documents seized during the raid on the terror leader's hideout in Pakistan nearly a year ago. Much of it will be made public online.

Some of the information, including Bin Laden's orders to his followers, but also his mind-set in the final isolated years and it certainly paints a picture of a man who was not only paranoid, but a micromanager, often dictating his follower's every move.

Peter Bergen, CNN's national security analyst and the author of the brand new book "Manhunt", talks with Ashleigh this morning about the documents. He's one of the few people outside of the government who's already seen some of these documents, been inside that compound and one of the only people who has had a chance to interview Bin Laden himself. He tells Ashleigh the document dump could further damage the Al Qaeda network.
