On top of what was already recovered from Osama bin Laden's extensive library—hundreds of books on international law, religion and the Illuminati—there have been rumors going around for some time saying the former terrorist leader, who was killed by Seal Team Six in 2011, also owned a fair amount of pornographic videos.
"The pornography recovered in bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive," reported Reuters in 2011, after the raid. "The officials said they were not yet sure precisely where in the compound the pornography was discovered or who had been viewing it. Specifically, the officials said they did not know if bin Laden himself had acquired or viewed the materials."
Four years later, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) released bin Laden's library list—but it did not include his porn stash.
The ODNI spokesman told the media that it had no plans of releasing the porn list. "Due to the nature of the content, the decision was made not to release it," he said, according to the Washington Post.
David Covucci, a writer for BroBible, asked for this information from the agency by filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request May 26. This week, he received a reply from the CIA.
"With regard to the pornographic material Osama bin Laden had in his possession at the time of his death, responsive records, should they exist, would be contained in the operational files. The CIA Information Act, 50 U.S.C 431, as amended, exempts CIA operational files from search, review, publication, and disclosure requirements of the FOIA. To the extent that this material exists, the CIA would be prohibited by 18 USC Section 1461 from mailing obscene matter," stated the letter, which Covucci posted on BroBible.
Covucci was disappointed with the CIA's response to his request. "I will give them credit," he said. "They did cite a legitimate statute that allows them to avoid FOIA requests regarding operations."
