Bin Laden’s porn

I waited a little while to repeat this, since so much of what we were told about the attack that killed Bin Laden turned out to be wrong, but it seems pretty solid now:

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.

Personally, I don’t find this surprising. We’ve seen since 9/11 that terrorists have often indulged in their forbidden vices, if they lived in a place where they could. If someone can rationalize mass murder, we can hardly be shocked that they can rationalize the little things as well.

POSTSCRIPT: However, it seems that a lot of people just can’t accept that Islamic extremist thugs could also be complete hypocrites. When I was googling up the link above — reporting that Mohammed Atta, among others, liked to hang out at strip clubs — I was surprised to find that it is now apparently a tenet of 9/11 trutherism that Atta’s strip club visits never happened. I simply don’t understand those people.
