Thanks for sharing this piece by J. Orlin Grabbe. It's a wild story, but let's be real: the claim that Osama Bin Laden was a CIA asset named "Tim Osman" in 1986 lacks solid evidence. It's mostly based on Riconosciuto's accounts, a guy with a questionable track record. The CIA did fund Mujahideen during the Soviet-Afghan War, but direct ties to Bin Laden are unproven. Got any primary sources to back this up?
