CIA Releases Additional Files Recovered in Raid on Usama Bin Ladin’s Compound

[israrkhan]

Interesting stuff, several movies, and songs.. One of the copyright holders should go and sue CIA for violating DMCA :)

[tim333]

Apparently it includes “Charlie Bit My Finger.” And a lot of random stuff https://gizmodo.com/the-42-weirdest-movies-on-osama-bin-lade...

I know those files. That looks like a list of files from a family computer.

Bin ladin, like many others in that region, likely had family and friends over all the time. Kids sit at the computer when their parents are being boring and drinking tea.

It's almost like he was a human being instead of Satan brought to Earth like our propaganda suggests.

[acqq]

One of the videos from the list is a short animation action movie:

"Pigeon: Impossible (2009)"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1423419/

Available on Youtube:

It's about the agent who carries the president's "Nuclear Football"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_football

and his interaction with a pigeon who wants agent's doughnut.

I'm pretty sure that's a bagel, not a donut.

[gadders]

An FOIA was raised to get details of his porn stash as well but that was refused: http://uk.businessinsider.com/cia-osama-bin-laden-porn-2017-...

[stevenwoo]

Lots of videogame warez and soft porn games.

Now getting "The Abbottabad files are temporarily unavailable pending resolution of a technical issue. We are working to make the material available again as soon as possible. "

[Nrsolis]

Access denied.

[xer]

No mentioning of straightened proofs of 9/11 plot...

[elorm]

Prior to accessing this file collection, please understand that this material was seized from a terrorist organization. While the files underwent interagency review, there is no absolute guarantee that all malware has been removed.

The CIA cannot guarantee that files they have spent 6 years poring through are free off malware? Wonder why anyone will download these documents after this.

[bousaid]

Have you ever read the terms and service of any piece of software or service? They’re full of similar protective clauses.

[jorblumesea]

Probably just legalese in case anything happened. I bet CIA lawyers are the most paranoid people on the planet.

[mynewtb]

You cannot ever guarantee that, see N=NP.

[isfield]

Maybe download and copy to isolated vm view and nuke the vm. Or I'll just read what everyone else says is in there :D

[Bromskloss]

What would be the problem with downloading and reading them? You don't have to _run_ them, to the extent that they are programs.

[pankajdoharey]

WOW, spelling mistake on CIA's website. Usama instead of Osama.

[sdrothrock]

[slazaro]

It's probably just a different transliteration of the name, rather than a mistake.

[astura]

Osama, Usama, etc. are just anglicized versions of his Arabic name, thus none are canonical.

According to Wikipedia, the direct translation of his name is usāmah ibn muḥammad ibn ‘awaḍ ibn lādin
