Foreign and Pakistani analysts, former operatives of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency and military men interviewed by The Associated Press say that some ISI agents, local police and local officials most likely did know about bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The question is, at what level, and how close to the top? (AP Photo/Rahimullah Yousafzai, File) (AP)

If you thought coverage of Osama bin Laden's death couldn't get any more base, you were wrong -- now smut is being thrown into the mix. A porn stash was found in his hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan, according to unnamed U.S. officials. Reuters reports that the smutty library "consists of modern, electronically recorded video and is fairly extensive."

Now, we don't know who was watching the porn. We don't know what particular genres or titles were favored (I'm guessing "Who's Nailin' Paylin?" was in there, though). All we know is that someone in bin Laden's compound was indulging in X-rated entertainment of some sort. A religious extremist turning out to be a total hypocrite -- particularly when it comes to sex? Why I never!

Cue multimillion-dollar offer for the videos from Vivid's Steven Hirsch. Oh, and prepare for the Hustler parody.
