From MSNBC News:

Rumors are flying that filmmaker Morgan Spurlock of “Super Size Me” fame may have done what the United States government has failed to do for the last six years — find Osama bin Laden.

The speculation first began at the Berlin International Film Festival in February, where Spurlock showed a select group of potential buyers 15 minutes of footage from his new documentary, “Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?” The film follows Spurlock through the Middle East in his search for the elusive leader of al-Qaida. According to Slashfilm.com, The Weinstein Co. quickly snapped up the picture after seeing the clips.

Adding to the belief, Daniel Marracino, the film’s director of photography, is quoted in Variety, saying of the movie, “We’ve definitely got the Holy Grail.”

BBC News haven’t picked this up as yet, and perhaps with good reason. The way I see it, it either has the potential to be the single biggest body blow to the Bush Administration’s legacy or it’s a misguided cosmic-scale hoax that would put Morgan Spurlock in the Clifford Irving league and potentially wreck his career. But it does present a tantalising prospect: could a likeable documentary-maker who made his name bingeing on burgers have accomplished what the world’s only super power and the global intelligence community have monumentally failed to do?

Sometimes a ‘WTF?’ just isn’t enough.
