Did Morgan Spurlock find Osama bin Laden?
This is the first image from Where in the World is Osama bin Laden, the forthcoming documentary from Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) which chronicles his scouring of the Middle East for the 9/11 terrorist.
SlashFilm reports: "Many people are speculating that Spurlock may have done what the U.S. government has been unable to do, and actually found Bin Laden. The film’s director of photography, Daniel Marricone added fuel to the fire, telling the press that Spurlock 'definitely got the holy grail.' Not much information has leaked about the film, and even the director is keeping quiet. When asked if the rumors, Spurlock would only say 'Until there’s something to see, why talk about it?'"

Even if Spurlock did, in fact, find Bin Laden, shouldn't he have properly informed the government, leading to Bin Laden's capture and subsequent revelation in the news?

Each and every presidential candidate, both Democratic and Republican, should be asked the question, "Where is Osama bin Laden, and what would you do as president to locate him and bring him before a US court to stand trial for his crimes?"
Our current president "doesn't care" and "doesn't think much about" bin Laden. Our next one should.

@ JOHN -- Can you affirm he did not? Maybe he did and they bungled it or, more like the Bush administration, disdained the information because it did not come from one of \\\\\"their\\\\\" sources.
You are willing to give this government -- the same one that has done so AMAZINGLY well at tracking down Bin Laden -- the benefit of the doubt? Not me.

and may I add-the 50 million dollar reward. I call bull-shit.

Go Morgan! I hope he not only finds him, but gives an exclusive interview with Kieth Olberman!
Sorry, the Moron-in-Command busy directing the DHS to get our community firemen to act as domestic spys so that no one can slander his good name or our fine government.
Impeachment is off the table.
Here's to another 4 years of crap in the Whitehouse, no matter who wins.

Even though I may hate the Bush Administration-with a vengeance. I only hope that if anyone does meet up with Bin Laden, they put a bullet through his temple. Dead meat.

I understand why most American's have an extreme dislike for Osama. It is justified.
However, at the same time, there are far worse people in the world than him. How many have died directly or indirectly at the hands of Osama vs. the hands of Bush.
I'm willing to bet the latter has a longer list.
If anyone meets Georgie in person, maybe they should put a "bullet in his temple" too? Is there a bounty on his head?

Buzz, buzz, buzz...hype, hype, hype...and all the chickens came a-cacklin.
I think Mr. Spurlock said a mouthful. But will we let that stop us? Hells no. Let's speculate on those assumptions, girlz!
Speaking of filling Mr. Spurlock's mouth to overflowing...

Taylor, you're a fucking idiot. How many people died at the hands of Franklin Delano Roosevelt or Harry Truman or even JFK? If you can't tell the difference between Bin Laden -- a fascist, gay-hating, woman-enslaving, totalitarian, probably dead fuckwad -- and George W. Bush -- an idiot, hated by many, but not even in the same moral galaxy -- then I ask you this.
Whose rule would you prefer to live under?
I would LOVE you to answer that question.
As for Morgan Spurlock, I'd call him a hack but then I'd have to give a shit.

I'm sure Morgan Spurlock had no trouble finding Osama.
George W. Bush claims he can't because "he's hiding." But Dubbya knows where every other member of the Bin Ladin family is, because the Bush family is in business with them. So I've no doubt Dubbya scribbled down the location of Osama's cave somewhere and just can't find that scrap of paper. After all he's a busy man. And didn't we overthrow Saddam Hussein? Sure Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, but it's so much easier pretending that he did than to cause a ruckus by hunting down a relative of a business partner.

While it depends on what Spurlock means by "finds Bin Laden", perhaps he's referring to a political mindset (Bin-Ladenism) rather than the man himself, he, of course, would be obligated to alert govt. officials as the location, means and methods of his uncovering. At that point his hands are clean.

Actually, Osama Bin Laden is NOT wanted for involvement in 9/11. That's why our great leader says he doesn't think about him much.

Word is, binLaden has been captured, a fact being kept hidden until he can be paraded forth, for all the world to see, in TimesSq on NewYear's eve (Live), housed in a large, gold-barred bullet-proof glass cage, replacing the old crystal ball for the newyear countdown. Historical drama at is best, for sure. Just wait.

Morgan found Osama reading "Sacrificing your Pet Goat" to a group of children, but wasn't allowed to interrupt.

Choosing a vacuum cleaner Dust - the scourge of modern civilization. It WILL look like it is like here. A particularly large role in the accumulation of dust play carpeting. The very nature of napped or tufted surface helps ensure that the collected dust. http://vacuum.one.pl/vacuum-cleaner-reviews/index.html http://vacuum.one.pl/vacuum-cleaner-reviews/vacuum-cleaner-hoses-hoover.html http://vacuum.one.pl/vacuum-cleaner-reviews/windsor-sensor-vacuum-
