I had a family friend who was the maitre' de at The Daisy disco in the 70's. He told me that sometime in the late 70s one or two men named bin Laden came to the club. One of them was very tall. He though it was one or two of Osama bin Laden's brother, but maybe it was him. He has passed away since then.

bin Laden probably attended classes at Berkeley, or received training from the DNC after vacationing at Hyannisport.

Given his wealth, he's probably been all over the US and Europe at some point in his life.

One of Bin Laden's brothers was killed in an ultralight crash just north of San Antonio. If I'm not mistken, I thought Osama was there when it happened, or somewhere close by. OBL was in and out of the US a lot when he was much younger due to work with the family business.

I could've sworn I met him once at the Mitchell Brothers Cinema in San Francisco (Not that I would ever patronize such an establishment.)

He must have seen thousands of customers. How could he have remembered the name of one them decades before that person was famous?

Terror mastermind Osama bin Laden may have visited the United States as a young man ... where he tried-out as a left-handed pitcher with the Washington Senators?

another take on the possibility bin Laden visited the US:
http://www.orlingrabbe.com/binladin_timosman.htm
it's long, and doesn't really get to bin Laden until well into the story. I have no idea if this stuff has ever been corroborated anywhere else, but it's interesting.

'Osama may have visited US as young man' ----I am sure he did. It's not like anybody here is looking out for people sneaking into our country and harming us.

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Osama had surgery, took someone elses identity and is living in the states right now.
