We already know that Osama bin Laden kept journals and watched television reports about himself while hiding in a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan before he was killed in U.S. military operation May 1. It turns out he might have been building his porn collection, too.

A source confirms to CBS News that pornography was found in the computer files seized from Osama bin Laden's compound. The source says "inappropriate still images" were found--some of which showed couples engaged in sex acts.

The pornography "consists of modern, electronically recorded video," Reuters first reported Friday, citing current and former officials.

But the officials who spoke to Reuters said they did not know where in the compound the materials were found. They might not have belonged to -- or been viewed by -- bin Laden himself.

Earlier Friday, CBS News has learned that CIA officers in Pakistan have met with three widows of Osama bin Laden.

The meeting lasted approximately 30 minutes and Pakistani intelligence officials were present.

Sources tell CBS News the CIA did not get a lot of information from them, but there may be further meetings.

The eldest of the three widows served as a spokeswoman. Much of the session was reportedly taken up with translation.

What I can't understand is how did Reuters know of 'the' stash of porn? Did they work shoulder to shoulder with the CIA,FBI examining sensitive secret documents. Are they 'allowed' to view and be in the same room with the CIA? The CIA don't exactly know what they have yet and a news media already has knowledge of some contents? Do the CIA have authority and permission to divulge a personal content to the media? It should be morally wrong to reveal something personal to the media while not really knowing if it was really his, letting people think the worst of him or in a worst light. This is like the CIA revealing how he had sex. All this is none of anyone's business. Pity.

It is a bothersome image produced indeed when one attempts to imagine old Osama flogging the dolphin. Does he keep all those tasty looking clothes on or go wild in London? How about a bath? Does he have a staff that deals with this stuff? You know, sultan feeling that way - bring forth dancing girls, not too oily, roll a few, he only likes Bombay gin ...) Or is it more like "hey forget it Osama - talk to the hand"? What's a killing shet bag to do? Who's gonna listen? Martyr? Ugh, no way Jose.

[BogusPeavy]

Did he have any "other" stuff, i.e. pot, pipes, papers, Viagra, KY - what's next? This stuff is strictly on a "want to know" basis. Just what blend of boogie does, er did, this Bin put on? What kind of Muslim does he turn out to be besides self centered, arrogant and painfully vain?

Just what IS a lonely Bin to do during those inevitable slow times? You know, nobody to kill or maim, no riot scheduled nor suicide bomber happening today - yawn. So twist one up? What's the Muslim view on Masturbation? Oh THAT porn? For the guests only. What turns a Bin on? Martyr worthy stuff? Flexible religion when it needs to be I must say.

Obama has been holed up in his bathroom, blowing smoke out the window as he personally combs through the porn looking for secret messages.... Michelles out of town and ma-in-law is taking care of the kids....What a job. Almost 1/2 million a year to play golf and look at porn!

Glade hes gone

From Mohammed on down, Islam is rife with Imams and followers engaging in pedophilia, child sexual abuse, and perverted sex. I'm not surprised that Osama was a pervert. He was a "True Believer", wasn't he?

Most of the Jews are benders and lesbians.

The American porn industry is dominated by the Jewish perverts.

Hypocrites. They decry Western "immorality" and yet still engage in the exact same behavior. Face it folks, you're no different than us really. Oh, but keep blowing stuff up and you will have ZERO support left in the rational world. You and the Palestinians would gain much more support if Gandhi and MLK were your inspiration, not violent people like Bin Laden. I dislike what Israel does as much as the next person but hey, you either coexist PEACEFULLY or your more powerful neighbor gets to drive tanks down your streets. It sucks but violence only encourages MORE violence.

You make them sound like Republicans.

[tafhdyd]

No wonder President Cheney didn't spend much time trying to find him. He was a fellow Republican hypocrite.

[Lindag10]

President Cheney? When was he elected?

[brian_norwood]

And I was wondering why Bin Laden, a left-hander was holding the remote control in his right hand.

[PanDimensionalWedgie]

Maybe he's got a shot of Jack Daniels in his left hand? Seriously though, I'm a lefty and use the remote in my right hand all the time - big deal.

[Lindag10]

Good grief, I'm left handed and use the mouse on my computer right handed because most electronic stuff is set up for you "righties". Nit picker.

As Bill Clinton said at his impeachment hearings. Everybody does it!

Bill Clinton was thinking just that with the Jewess on her knees in front to him.
