That is wild, I had never heard that (not that I know anything at all about ME elite pastimes!). At least it was cool to see a CR interview outside of his booorrriiinnnggg “roundtable” studio set-up for a change!
Back when the Gulf War II was starting there was a Sikh who was a bird handler for some of the Saudi royals and he claimed to have seen Bin Laden in Afghanistan.
That’s probably not exact but its what I recall off the top of my head.
