Did Morgan Spurlock find Osama bin Laden?

Did Morgan Spurlock find Osama bin Laden? 15 minutes of footage shown at film fest sparks bidding war, speculation MSNBC News Services updated 1:59 p.m. ET, Wed., Dec. 5, 2007 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." Whether this is just a genius publicity ploy or if Spurlock actually found bin Laden has yet to be revealed, but the answer should come next year, when the documentary is slated to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

He found Osama but didn’t give that information to the defense department?

Did he inform Interpol?

If he did, not ensuring he's in the hands of proper authorities is treason. < Conspiracy hat > Unless that's where he found him. < / Conspiracy hat>

For the record, no I don't think that's the case. Figured I'd head off some angry responses.

If he didn't he's a fool.
I'd give them the location, if I had it, for the reward that's offered!

Does Spurlock, as an American have the obligation to shoot OBL on site?

He must feel that he can get more money from Soros to swing the 2008 election for the Democrats than get the $27million in rewards for the capture of Bin Laden:

I would imagine it might be considerably easier for a film crew to find him than for the US military or CIA.

Just put out the word that you want to film an interview with him for the West. Word will filter to his people. His guards will check you out, secure you and your crew, make sure you aren’t bugged, etc., and then take you to meet him in a secure place.

You won’t be able to tell anyone where he is, because even after the interview you will still have no idea, and he won’t be there anymore anyway.
