Porn found in bin Laden hideout, officials say
Edited on Fri May-13-11 12:35 PM by Turborama
Source: Reuters Via MSNBC

Fairly extensive collection consists of modern, electronically recorded video
By Mark Hosenball and Tabassum Zakaria | Updated 34 minutes ago -

A stash of pornography was found in the hideout of Osama bin Laden by the U.S. commandos who killed him, current and former U.S. officials said on Friday.

The pornography recovered in bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive, according to the officials, who discussed the discovery with Reuters on condition of anonymity.

The officials said they were not yet sure precisely where in the compound the pornography was discovered or who had been viewing it. Specifically, the officials said they did not know if bin Laden himself had acquired or viewed the materials.

Reports from Abbottabad have said that bin Laden's compound was cut off from the Internet or other hard-wired communications networks. It is unclear how compound residents would have acquired the pornography.

52. Psy-ops all the way.
They killed the guy, now they have to demolish his image as well.

They can make any claim they please about stuff found in OBL's hideout, and most people are going to believe it. Who would forego such an opportunity?

OK he's a terrosist who is responsible for killing thousands. Showing he whacked off to porn isn't exactly demonishing his image.

73. Yes, humanization also gets in the way of deification.
As far as I'm concerned, the DoD started off bullshitting and isn't going to walk back anything they can get away with. So at this point I wouldn't believe them if I watched it myself, at length, alone.

Um, I gotta go.

What are we supposed to do with information like this. We can't judge it to be true or false. It's like gossip. I swear our collective mentality is pathetic. We are wasting our time on bullshit when we should be working on solutions to our problems.

10. Standard procedure for our State Department propaganda department.
They floated the story they found porno in the desk of the Nixon-overthrown democratically elected Socialist Chilean President, Salvador Allende, too. They also claimed they found red silk pajamas in his desk, as well!

How susrprising it was when George H. W. Bush violently invaded Panama to get Manuel Noriega and it was announced that in Noriega's office desk they found 1. Porno 2. red silk pajamas.

I believe they claimed they also found either drugs or alcohol, or whatever, in both places. Have forgotten which since I read the accounts.

You may recall they already opened the door of this room when they announced they found Viagra in bin Laden's bedroom. I'm surprised they didn't mention he wet his bed, as well.

It's as if they are insecure, and don't feel just killing people is enough. They have to try to do some character assassination afterwards.

Whether or not one believes him to be guilty of any specific act, characterizations of his scumminess are based on far more than just GWBs say-so.

33. Or it could very well be true
Some of the guys who crashed the planes on 9/11 were supposed to have been frequenting clubs drinking in the days before 9/11. Unless that was all propaganda, too. But accounts I've read of some counter-religious behaviors by Muslim men make all of this quite plausible, imo.

59. That wasn't propaganda. It was down here in South Florida...
I've even talked to people who served Mohammad Atta drinks. He occasionally hung out at a bar on Young Circle Park in downtown Hollywood. I think the idea behind it was that dying a martyr gets you insta-access to heaven, so beforehand, you can pretty much do whatever.

32. Sarah Palin, Not Hot?
If you think Sarah Palin is not hot, Michelle Bachman is not semi-hot, and Christine O'Donnell is not decent, you are letting your big head interfere with your small head.

However, you are not alone. Given two partisan female individuals, both equally attractive, I have heard Republicans (with a straight face) claim the liberal female was ugly while the conservative female was desirable. When, in fact, both are desirable.

I never let my big head politics and ideology interfere with my little head’s natural instincts.

29. During Reagan's time, his Office of Public Diplomacy even smeared the US journalists in Nicaragua,
claiming they were busy doing business with prostitutes, male, female, straight, gay.

That was their way of trying to beat them into submission over how they would cover Reagan's war on the left in Nicaragua.

24. It's clear to me how compound residents acquired media.
They talked about "couriers".

There is another name for this: "Sneakernet". The act of physically sending media from place A to B and back again.

The latency on this kind of transport is awful but when you do get the information, the bitrate is huge.

75. I think that they are trying to infer that OBL was a hypocrite. He preached
strict Islamic fundamentalism but at the same time he used porn. After all, if a prominent fundamentalist Christian minister got caught with porn it would be a big story wouldn't it? So why can't this be a big story?

That is all on the assumption that OBL really did have porn in his possession, which many people in this thread are understandably doubting.

86. PORN??!?
This guy orchestrates the murder of thousands of innocent people and was the global face of terror for over a decade and we are supposed to give a shit about PORN??

Ok, I'll bite... how much did he have? "The pornography recovered... is fairly extensive, according to the officials..." Who are the officials, and how much is extensive? Did he have an old shoebox with a dvd and a few dusty old Playboys and the "officials" found this to be extensive, or did he have enough to make a hooker blush?

So what if ObL rubbed it from time to time. Rumor has it that he also smoked doobies too. I don't care about his personal sexual or self medication habits, and I'm not losing any sleep over the fact that he took one between the eyes either. What is the next outrage going to be, that he smoked cigarettes and drank beer? I've already seen speculation about cocaine, heroin, and opium and I don't give a shit about those either. At least self medication and porn are victimless crimes (unless it's rape porn or something really effed up like that, but that's a whole different discussion).

96. Porn? Right up there with a LOT of leaders.../ and bin Laden is "dead again" ?
Well who knows and who cares about the porn? It's not my
thing, but IF this is designed to besmirch an already
besmirched image, what's the point?  

(oh wait...maybe the GOP is planning some bill or other to
make PORN illegal. THEN it would be considered disgusting  AND
unpatriotic. Like objecting to invading Iraq was considered
"unpatriotic", though it made not one iota of sense.
I think I'm beginning to understand...)

I still remember the Frost interview of '07 wherein Benazir
Bhutto, Pakistani leader, quickly assassinated, flatly stated
the following:
 (excerpt from Wikipedia):

 "On 2 November 2007, Bhutto participated in an interview
with David Frost on Al Jazeera, stating Osama Bin Laden had
been murdered by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, who was was one of
those convicted of murdering journalist Daniel Pearl."

I seem to recall that she said bin Laden had been killed 5
years previously though  not totally sure (check the video for
yourself)
Frost simply ignored the statement and didn't even ask a
followup question.
 I thought that truly bizarre. 
Six weeks later, Benazir Bhutto was dead. She was assassinated
(December 27, 2007)
She may really have died from foot-in-mouth disease....

In the interview, amazingly, she mentioned bin Laden being
dead simply, factually, and in passing - as if everyone who
knew anything already KNEW bin Laden was dead. The fact that
the interview was subsequently scrambled when aired by BBC and
edited most other places (until YouTube got an unedited
version), and voiced-over EXACTLY when she made that
statement, made her assertion even more compelling. SO did the
marked differences in later "appearances" of bin
Laden on tape.
(On one tape he even looked startlingly like my ex-husband...
and that guy on "Full House" and AFV...LOL)

n the grainy 2004 tape where he is alleged to be
"discussing" the WTC attacks-- the left-handed bin
Laden writes with his right hand, for example. 
The tape saying he accepted responsibility for WTC (released
by Al-Jazeera) was never authenticated. And each of these
"bin Laden" guys have looked quite different from
the original, to me. This time -- no face at all. Perhaps a
bin Laden look alike willing to actually be murdered was too
hard to find...

It was reported subsequent to the Frost interview that Bhutto
later said bin Laden was alive. I heard a clip of the Greta
Van Susteren audio tape,   "released" Nov 9, 2007,
Bhutto refers to bin Laden "Wherever Osama bin Laden
is" (ambiguous - this could refer to either a dead or a
living bin Laden) I'm sure he's rubbing his hands in
glee..." and she goes on to talk about the fear and
unrest his followers are causing. 
There is no reference anywhere I could find that she RETRACTED
her statement about bin Laden being dead. 
But to casually, factually announce he was dead and then
backtrack makes little sense.

NOW,  along comes THIS "killing" of bin Laden
surrounded by mystery and no body produced. My gut didn't
believe a word of it. 

I think he's dead, yes, but LONG dead. 

Here again "bin Laden" --this time a "really
dead" one--pops up as yet another critical Presidential
and Congressional election looms. It's going to be interesting
to see how they spin it.

I believe Benazir Bhutto told the truth. That subsequent bin
Laden pop-ups --including this one--have been so much
political "production" in an attempt to manipulate
the American populace as a critical election lies ahead.

As to porn, I can only say that would put THIS "bin
Laden" right up there with many many many of our
"distinguished Congressmen":evilgrin: 
 
Admittedly, I'm no stranger to conspiracy theories. They seem
to hold together frighteningly well when one starts really
digging.That so many well known and very credible people are
right in there talking openly and loudly about 9/11, for
example, in the US and all over the world, well. 

Just sayin'.

Given the $h*tpile we have found ourselves covered in, it is
woefully apparent that we are NOT being told anything CLOSE to
the truth until it's too late to do anything about it. 

I do find it rather ironic that when the WTC disaster
occurred, Bush was listening to a story about a goat. In my
mind, every time I hear "goat" I think of the common
term, "Scapegoat". 
When the name "bin Laden" was/is raised,
"Scapegoat" is all I can think.
