U.S. official: Porn found in bin Laden compound
**Pretends to be watching CNN**
The U.S. military found a large cache of pornography in the hideout of Osama bin Laden, Reuters is reporting.
An unnamed U.S. official said the porn is an extensive collection of “modern, electronically recorded video.”
I’m not sure what they mean by “electronically recorded,” since I don’t know of a way to record video with some form of electronics. I think they mean the video was stored digitally.
It is not known if bin Laden himself watched the videos, or how the videos were obtained. The compound in Pakistan had no Internet connection, but did include TVs and video playback devices.
Three officials said it is “not uncommon” for Islamic militants to have porn collections.

They keep/watch large amounts of porn and “satisfy themselves” with it, so as to keep their sex drives low and decrease the risk of having homosexual activity with fellow soldiers when they’re out in the field for long periods of time. Since homosexuality is punishable by death in their particular “world”, basically, they see porn as a way to resist the temptation when there haven’t been any women around for longer periods of time, hence, avoiding being put to death if you did do it and get caught. I used to know someone from the Middle East long ago and at least this is according to him when a similar topic of conversation came up when a bunch of us went out one night to eat.

As A Marine who served in the Middle East these guys are porn dogs big time. Having the internet only made it worse for them. Of course, we were ” not allowed” to bring anything we nudity into their countries. Notice I said not allowed,,By the way, has anyone seen the porn other countries have, man we are prudes compared to the rest of the world.

Yeah, good porn…those Muslim women all decked out in their veils and them there burkas on, doing the “dirty”; I’m all wurked up just thinkin’ about ‘em. And they do it so as not to be gay, no less. If’n I had to look at them ‘un’s for pleasure, one might as well be gay, ya know what I’m sayin’? Them Muslims sure has funny values, huh? All them “hairy hands” and “half-blinds” (my mother told me not to do that as it would give you hairy hands and blind you) runnin’ around over there…

To the feller that was explaining about the porn and going out to eat, etc., what did you order to eat? Did the poor guy blink a lot? Did he itch his palms a lot? Did he wear glasses? This is important: Did he choose the eatery? Did he claim to know the cook? The waiter? The owner of the establishment? Was the food good? How’d the beverage taste? Salty, bland, smelled of “wallpaper paste”? Let us know, please…

The CIA fellers are questionin his wives to learn about his habits. The big question is how often did he come to your bedroom. So far ever ones said the same thang. Shoot, I couldn’t keep him out from in front of that dadgum computer.

Huh? I don’t care how long I was on the battlefield without the sight of a woman, turning brokeback mountain would never ever happen. Plus, isn’t pornography outlawed in the muslim world? Guess we can add another sin to Bin Laden’s tab.

Par for the course. Just like most religious fanatics (Christian, Muslim, doesn’t matter … they all do it), they are hypocrites and don’t practice what they preach. The Saudi Royals are some of the worse. At home they pretend to be all pious as “Keepers of The Faith” & “Defenders of All Islam”, but the moment they land in the US or Western Europe … off with the robes & on with the designer suits, out comes the cognac & high price call girls. At least Charlie Sheen is honest about his vices.

We are all humans under it all, driven by basic human needs. The fact that so many religions view physical pleasure shared between consenting adults as something evil, is what makes the porn industry a mult-billion dollar cross-cultural business. No surprises here.

Zach, the Seals more than likely did not know what was on the HD’s and other drives there took. They didn’t have time to look at the data on the drives they were just taking anything they thought might provide intelligence. The porn would have been discovered after the intelligence groups were able to look at the drives. Also, bringing porn back into the country in this case would have been allowed since it is not for personal use or distribution but for gathering information about Bin Laden.

In other words, the “cache” was a collection of homemade (”amateur”) video taken of him and the women he “got jiggy” with. No wi-fi or Internet (or Intranet for that matter) needed for that task.

““modern, electronically recorded video.””

Doubt the excuse to avoid homo relationships. Laden has women in his room. So why was a good muslim with women around indulging in porn? Have you ever seen those women when they uncover their face? YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! It’s no wonder! THeir goats are better looking! Look out goats!

What kind of porn? I’m interested to know what types of fantasies these men have. I’m also interested to know how it affects their treatment of women and girls when they do attack a village/town/city/state/country. It might be an effective way to track down more muslim fascists……watch internet porn traffic and root out the droolers by IP address. Sounds like a plan to me.
