Pathetic.

The list of documents recovered from Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan hideout and released by US intelligence officials includes operational notes, family letters, political analysis and histories of Islamist militancy.

But one portion of the document hoard seems unlikely ever to be declassified: Osama bin Laden’s porn collection.

Since the 2011 Navy Seal raid in which the al-Qaida chief was killed, there have been numerous unconfirmed reports that the documents included “a considerable quantity of pornographic videos”.

On Wednesday, the office of the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, confirmed for the first time that “some pornographic material” was contained in Bin Laden’s recovered papers and personal effects. […]

Yet despite the self-imposed limitations on interacting with the outside world, Bin Laden had porn in his possession. A Reuters report from 2011 described his collection as “fairly extensive”, and including recent-vintage video smut.

Anchukaitis declined to specify the sort of porn Bin Laden preferred.
