So confirming what I heard on NPR this morning, The Eyeranian says that the Iranian state news has reported that bin Laden has been captured for awhile now, even though the US and Pakistan deny it.
As he says:
I would normally ignore this, however it is hard to forget how the same source reported on the arrest of Saddam way ahead of all other news agencies. Besides, with the U.S. abandoning everything in Afghanistan outside of Kabul to tribal chiefs and occasional criminal war lord, some of them with strong Iranian connections, it’s not hard to imagine news of this magnitude being leaked to such a source.
So make of that what you will.
Speaking of which, Rachel and went to Fremont last night and saw Osama. I enjoyed it, but Rachel wasn’t so thrilled with it. Not your ideal date movie, I know, but still powerful, raw, and good. I wonder how many Afghans still have big fuck-off beards as so many of them were forced to during the Taliban era.
Things are really busy. Thesis, internship, schoolwork, the usual suspects. Tomorrow (maybe tonight if I’m feeling extra diligent) I have to get going on a Farsi translation of the article that I wrote for The Iranian in November.
Econ midterm went suprisingly well last week. Let’s see how the grade comes out. Gotta get going on some freelance stuff that I’m working on. Too busy, too busy.
Boyk’s making Aloo 65 (a vegan version of it’s cousin, Chicken 65) tonight for dinner. Yum.
