Did Bin Laden Borrow His Porn Stash From Manuel Noriega? (Updated)

[Dokkie]

Apparently it wasn’t enough that Osama Bin Laden had spawned a movement of mass murdering fanatics who killed thousands of innocent people around the world, most of whom were Muslim. Now US “officials” speaking “on the condition of anonymity” are claiming that Bin Laden was a porn hound who kept an “extensive” stash of adult films in his home.

Back in 1989, after Noriega was captured by US forces in Panama, the press was given exclusive access to the dictator’s inner sanctum. Time Magazine reported at the time:

"But other evidence suggested that the dictator was losing control of himself: U.S. troops searching his various hideouts found, along with pictures of Adolf Hitler, collections of pornography and sophisticated weapons and more than 50 kilos of cocaine. In one Noriega guesthouse, searchers found a bucket of blood and entrails, which they said may have been used for occult rites to protect him. Was the accused drug trafficker deteriorating into a megalomaniac drug user?"

1. As I recall, the 50 kilos of cocaine turned out to be tortilla flour

on edit:

Oh, the article mentions that. Should have read it first, instead of after I posted.

2. But Noriega bought Allende's collection.

They were members of the same Satanic Church.

4. "Say hello to my 'Little Friend'!"

You can't just kill a guy, you have to destroy their memory and reputation as well. You have to make it so that anyone hearing their name will feel a sense of revulsion.

5. I noticed similar recycling on Libya: the LA Times had a front page story on Khadafy & soccer

He shut down a beloved soccer team because his son ran a competing team.

Oddly, a similar story ran about Saddam Hussein's son running the national soccer team and abusing players.

I guess this is the equivalent of the villain kicking a dog in the movies so you know he's the bad guy: anyone who messes with sports is no friend of the American barcolounger brigade.
