Feathered Cocaine (Falcons and Bin Laden)

[danefan]

These two guys went to the Middle-East to make a documentary about falcon hunting and came back with with they say is solid evidence that Bin Laden is living in Iran.

The film’s main subject is Alan Parrot, a falcon enthusiast who raised and trained falcons for the royal court after a move to Tehran in his teens. He is now a conservationist seeking to stop the mistreatment of the animals.

The film draws unsavory connections among the falcon trade, world leaders and Al Qaeda. One interviewee alleges to have been on hunting trips with Mr. bin Laden in Iran within the last five years.

I didn't read the whole article, but I don't think the fact that he was there to go hunting necessarily means he's living there permanently.

If I'm a muslim trying to hide from the western world, my family is one of the more wealthy is Saudi Arabia and has the ear of the King, and he is willing to pay whatever price is asked for my safe haven, well then Iran would be a terrific place to hide. I'm just sayin'...

Different article, but based on the same film

Alan Parrot, the film's presenter and one of the world's foremost falconers, makes a case that bin Laden, an avid falcon hunter, has been living comfortably in Iran since at least 2003 and continues to pursue the sport relatively freely.

Um... I've only been saying this since 2005
Nobody - I repeat - nobody is looking for Osama Bin Laden... and nobody has been since early 2005




We've had larger man hunts looking for a Detroit Quickie Mart robber, The Bin Laden Family has about a 100 year history with our leaders at the highest level - I repeat - Nobody is looking for Osama Bin Laden
