- robbiet480 9y agoNow 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. "
- elorm 9y agoPrior 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.
- jorblumesea 9y agoProbably just legalese in case anything happened. I bet CIA lawyers are the most paranoid people on the planet.
- TinyRick 9y agoOr in case someone finds the malware they injected into it. </tinfoil hat>
- moxious 9y agoWould the CIA really do tha...oh.
- gozur88 9y agoThat seems like a pretty obvious play, IMO. I'd be surprised if they didn't.
- wallace_f 9y agoDon't be ridiculous. Any reasonable and representative democracy like ours would not be a government interested in subverting the privacy and rights of its own people. /s

- bousaid 9y agoHave you ever read the terms and service of any piece of software or service? They’re full of similar protective clauses.
- Bromskloss 9y agoWhat would be the problem with downloading and reading them? You don't have to _run_ them, to the extent that they are programs.
- tim333 9y agoApparently it includes “Charlie Bit My Finger.” And a lot of random stuff https://gizmodo.com/the-42-weirdest-movies-on-osama-bin-ladens-computer-1820046327 https://gizmodo.com/the-42-weirdest-movies-on-osama-bin-lade...
- whamlastxmas 9y agoIt's almost like he was a human being instead of Satan brought to Earth like our propaganda suggests.
- antonvs 9y agoWell, he was a human being responsible for an attack which killed about 3,000 people and wounded 6,000. It's not entirely unreasonable to demonize him.
- mynewtb 9y agoFor comparison you could look at the casualties numbers for things like the unsanctioned US invasion of Iraq. And then consider if the people responsible for that are as villified.
- lsd5you 9y agoWithout defending the war in Iraq (afterall what good has it done?) this really is a false equivalence and we probably don't realise how good we have it, and how much worse it could be - namely if some one like UBL was the ruler of the worlds largest superpower how many people would be killed and oppressed. You may pine for an ideal of no unjust/unfair deaths in the world, but the reality is the number caused is in some way proportional to the power wielded. The assessment of the morality of the US should take this into consideration. That is to say there is an implicit negative opportunity cost (? opportunity benefit) to existing power. This is perhaps the opposite to the way most overly moralising critics view things (if only I had the power to change the world). Afterall perhaps the biggest lesson of Iraq must be that just getting rid of power based on simplistic moralising is not a good idea. Careful what you wish for.
- needcaffeine 9y agoStrange that they hid what kind of porn Bin Laden was into.
- israrkhan 9y agoInteresting stuff, several movies, and songs.. One of the copyright holders should go and sue CIA for violating DMCA :)
- acqq 9y agoOne of the videos from the list is a short animation action movie: "Pigeon: Impossible (2009)" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1423419/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1423419/ Available on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEjUAnPc2VA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEjUAnPc2VA It's about the agent who carries the president's "Nuclear Football" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_football https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_football and his interaction with a pigeon who wants agent's doughnut.
- mikeash 9y agoI'm pretty sure that's a bagel, not a donut.
- acqq 9y agoHaving watched, I fully agree. I guess it has to be, to be heavy enough to press THE button. And the pigeon would probably prefer it?
- mikeash 9y agoI must confess I am not entirely familiar with avian preferences toward different types of toroidal food. Anyway, thanks for linking to that, it’s a delightful short.
- astura 9y agoNobody eats bagels like that through, they slice em in half and either butter, jelly, or cream cheese each half. I've never seen anyone walking around just munching on a full bagel like that.
- chin_is_up 9y agohey cia, we know bin laden’s worldview and don’t need to see his diary, gym playlist, or favorite movies. we need info about las vegas. the police blotter that night tells a different story from what we hear on the news. the local police have reports of multiple shooters. what was on the hard drive and camera the main shooter had in his room? where is security footage of the shooter around the hotel? why does the airport report a helicopter stopping on the mandalay roof at 10:25pm that night? why was no light shone on the hotel while the shooting occurred? what’s the full story?
- stevenwoo 9y agoLots of videogame warez and soft porn games.
- pankajdoharey 9y agoWOW, spelling mistake on CIA's website. Usama instead of Osama.

- slazaro 9y agoIt's probably just a different transliteration of the name, rather than a mistake.
- astura 9y agoOsama, 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
- gadders 9y agoAn 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-2017-9 http://uk.businessinsider.com/cia-osama-bin-laden-porn-2017-...
