Govt shows video of Osama Bin Laden watching himself on AlJazeera

[mango]

Apparently this guy was not only a mass murdering terrorist mastermind, but also a raving narcissist.

They found "the motherload" of all intelligence on the computers, files and videos seized from his Abbottabad safehouse. That alone was worth the hit.

CNN are showing video of Osama watching himself on Al Jazeera satellite TV with a remote control in one hand while he strokes himself with the other.

Some of the other tapes are Osama bloopers... lol

Osama Bin Laden Videos Released by Government

The government today released five videos found in Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, showing the al Qaeda leader preparing a message to the United States and watching himself on television.

The first was a previously unreleased message from bin Laden directed to the United States that was believed to have been filmed between Oct. 9 and Nov. 5 2010.

In the video, which begins with animated pre-production work, he appears to have dyed his beard black, is wearing a gold shawl over a white vestment and is wearing a white skullcap.

The second video, which runs over a minute long, shows bin Laden watching himself on television and holding the remote control to change the channels between what appear to be Arabic news channels.

The clip begins with a long shot of the screen, showing a list of satellite channels. The camera then pulls out and bin Laden is shown sitting down with a blanket over his shoulders and a wool cap. His beard is grey and white.

At one point bin Laden asks the cameraman to go back to the TV screen so it can focus on him holding a weapons.

It is unclear when or where this video was made and whether bin Laden was watching a live broadcast or a tape.

The remaining three videos appear to be practice sessions, possibly for the first video. In each of them he appears to stumble in his speech, stop and begin over.

Pretty meta watching himself on TV.

Would love to see SNL do a bloopers version of the Bin Laden tapes.
