Yeah, finally broke out of lurking for this :p

Are you on a mission to defend Osama from scurrilous rumors? Do you think there was no porn, or that it wasn’t his?

I think it lessens the horror of AQ and at the same time comes off as hamfisted psyops. Considering the recent fake “OBL used his wife as a human shield” stories that’ve been going around, this looks to be just as fake.

I don’t know why it would come off as “defending” Osama from anything, I just hate the tabloid rumor mill, how it’s infested the US media, and what we’re willing to gloss over if it fits our preconceptions. There’s more than enough to loathe without trying to find hypocrisy where there is likely none.
