I'm actually serious. The stuff that is out there makes Ethan Hunt and James Bond look like pussies. Spies are very real and are just about everywhere. There is a professor at A&M named James Olson who was under "deep cover" for most of the Cold War and some of the things he has actually talked about would make you shit a brick. They are real heroes because not only do they assume a cover which includes a full-time job that they must be able to fully perform, but they do all the spy work on top of it. And yes, they do it True Lies style where they don't even tell their families, etc. Olson's kid's had no idea both their parents were spies until he was threatened at home by his real name, at which point they decided to tell them.
Sure, the bin Laden thing sounds far fetched, but how the fuck can he be alive?!? Where's he getting the dialysis? Why wouldn't someone in the intelligence community know about it? How hard can it be to find a 7-foot tall turd with a sheet wrapped around it and a tin can the size of a Volkswagen attached to it?
Just discovered that Olson has evidently written a book, also, in case anyone cares. Looks interesting: http://www.potomacbooksinc.com/Books....aspx?id=10861
