Osama bin Laden’s porn collection.

I happen to think one story in the news that has been particularly mysterious is the pornography “discovered” in Osama bin Laden’s compound.  The story almost sounds too good to be true.  If true, it shows that Bin Laden was really a mass murdering terrorist who did not follow his Islamist ideology (just as communists don’t follow their ideology in their personal lives), but instead, used it to lure recruits to the cause.  On the other hand, even if the story turns out to be false, it’s a brilliant way of delegitimizing the man and hurting the Islamists’ morale.  In any case, I do think that it was a wise move to make the story about Bin Laden’s porn collection public, whether the allegation is true or false.
