The US Government Won't Let Us See Osama Bin Laden's Porn Collection

Last week the US Government released hundreds of files from Osama Bin Laden’s secret hideout, found when the Al-Qaeda leader was killed in 2011. There were jihad application forms, and books about the Illuminati, but there was one thing noticeably missing: his pornography collection.

Rumours of a porn stash in the compound initially spread following the killing of Bin Laden, but it remained just an urban legend. When the files were released however, its existence was confirmed—Director of National Intelligence James Clapper stated that “some pornographic material” was found during the raid. Bin Laden didn’t use the internet, for obvious security reasons, and therefore without access to RedTube its existence isn’t surprising.

Sadly though, that’s all they’ll let us know. Clapper stated “We are not going to release these materials due to the nature of their contents.”  So we will probably never find out what exactly they were into.
