OBL: He's just like us (minus the terrorist thing)

Osama Bin Laden
In addition to imaginary WMDs, Nacho Cheese Doritos, and caves, we now find out a few more tidbits on everyone's favorite forgotten terrorist, Osama Bin Laden.

Wherever he is, Bin Laden's got cable, and he loves him some Larry King Live. Oh, yep, he's a "news junkie." He also likes feta cheese, and has a hot socialite niece trying to make a modeling career in New York.

Apparently, he also has a death wish. When you're the only one in Pakistan with cable and feta cheese, you'd think you'd have it pretty good, but, Peter Bergen, author of The Osama Bin Laden I know says not so much:

"There is no evidence that he's dead. If Osama were dead, Al Qaeda would get up on the rooftops and say: 'At last, he finally got his wish.'"

Um, ok, so maybe that was Bush's logic. Apparently it's really not as much fun hunting down some guy who watches Larry King Live and wants to die. Hits too close to home, maybe?
