Pornography Found At Bin Laden's Compound, Sources Tell Reuters

A Reuters exclusive:

"A stash of pornography was found in the hideout of Osama bin Laden by the U.S. commandos who killed him, current and former U.S. officials said on Friday."

The wire service says it was told that the pornography "consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive" and that the sources "said they did not know if bin Laden himself had acquired or viewed the materials."

So far, Reuters is the only organization reporting this.
