Naaaaaaaaaah. It would be a better hoax if it were. This is just someone getting scammed (or running a scam) with MySpace. NITE totally mopped up with it already. If it were psy ops, it wouldn't have been so easy to debunk.

Akareyon .... are you and Leslie the same person?

She claimed to have and that they wouldn't listen.

Leslie - one thing I don't quite get is that you made a connection between hussain and OBL in the names but Saddam and OBL dont like each other at all and have very different world views even in their struggles against the West. With that in mind why would OBL choose Hussain as a name to operate under?

I don't know why he picked Hussain. Maybe he had an odd respect for Saddam. I just thought Hussain7 sounded like a screenname. I connected the two because I found the Name Hussain7 Hajji in a search for people in Bahrain. Hajj is a know Alias of Bin Laden's. That's how I made the connection.

Have you checked out the NYC address you located? interviewed the neighbors that sort of thing?

Oh my god give it a rest ...

Osama uses MySpace, i suppose he's looking for his next bride aswell while he's on there

*Sigh* some people fall for anything.

Leslie, it is my personal belief that if you indeed were able to have so many good "hunches" that the CIA/NSA would have swooped down and hired you in a heartbeat. You tracked a terrorist leader on myspace. I've already shown you how this is not working. You ask me "well, do you expect for him to use his real age?"

Give me a break.

Now the question is, will you admit it? Or will you just disappear?

I live in New York myself, and me and osama used to chill all the time.. He loves brooklyn pizza and taking long walks through central park... he was a cool guy, shame you had to go tell the FBI about him

Hajji is also the "alias" of anyone who has made a hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca. Which means all muslims (or at least those that can afford it)

I afree with FlyersFan, and just about everyone else on this. If Leslie is a real person, who really did this, then I'm scared that there would be more people out there hunting down "terrorists" using "evidence" that is based on nothing.

Wow, I'm just throwing around the quotation marks everywhere huh?

Right now I am spending all my spare time trying to get the message out about Bin Laden's capture and possible death. --Leslie

You know why... just admit it.

I did contact them back in August. Noone would touch the story. I wish I had recorded my conversations with the FBI then I would have the hardcofre evidence I really need to get the truth out. Most of what I have now is cimcumstantial and eyewitness testimony.

You are expecting UBL to be rational? Why couldn't care about seahorses and not people? Hitler loved wolves, but hated the Jews.

That's a good idea. I don't have the resources to do this, but maybe a member of the media would. Maybe they would remember the Feds swooping in on the 16th. Then again, I think it might have been really early in the morning before anyone was awake. --Leslie

Unfortunately, they care more about covering their asses than capturing terrorist. They should have hired me! LOL And no, God willing I won't disappear. I certainly did not use my real name, location or pic. I wouldn't want any terrorists tracking ME down.

They were more of hunches based on circumstantial "evidence". I don't know why it worked. If I had used normal methods I never would have found him. Lots of people using the same old tired methods failed. Maybe I just got lucky. It doesn't change the fact that the FBI agents were all celebrating and treating me like a hero. It doesn't change the fact that one of them admitted to me that they got UBL.

Are you actually under the impression, and expect any of us here to believe, that you repeatedly spoke with members of the FBI, including getting transferred over to their anti-terrorism dept., and they don't know who you are? Even if you would have submitted an online form to them, they would have had your IP, and would have found you.

This is the FBI we are talking about here, and personally, I think they are more than capable of knowing who you are, especially in respect of reporting terrorist activities, regardless of whether or not you used your real name, or sent in a picture of yourself that was really Princess Anne in a Vivienne Westwood Flared Basque Jacket!

They know who I am. They even have my social security number. It was not any anoymous call. I was under the mistaken impression that there would be a reward involved. I called multiple times and sent emails of every tip. I have copies of the emails and have posted a few screenshots. I am not hiding from the government by concealing my identity on Myspace. I am hiding from the terrorists.

Well, my Lord.
A new spin on the Serpo legacy.
" I found the evidence. I reported the evidence. I have no proof."
Give me and ATS a break, please.
I'm with Nite on this. I call BS.

What made you so sure it was UBLs myspace profile? Can you elaborate on this?

One of his alias's was The Director. Also, I have seen many suspicious Mysace accounts that I believe to be members of Al Qaida. The follow a pattern. I used this same pattern to find the first terrorist I turned in that I think may have helped thwart the Brittish Airway attacks. They use a symbol of some (usually a pop symbol like a car or something)sort and not a picture and the profile is opened. When I saw the Seahorese, I just had a strong feeling it was him. The fact that he had no friends despite being active on the account seemed to make sense since he wouldn't want anyone connected with him. It was a strong hunch based on circumstancial evidence. It was very fortunate that I found it, because the Seahorse turned out to be a very good clue.

THis post just killed your credibility. Lets see now, you Leslie Powers were responsible for not only stopping the Brittish Airway attacks, but also in catching Bin Laden........

What is the probability that the same person will able to catch 2 big Terrists in 6 months given that this person is average Jane? the answer is very slim. It would have been more realistic if your lie was just about bin laden or just the Brittish Airway Attacks, oh but you had to lie and say you were involved in 2. Thats just unrealistic.

You also talk of the characteristic of having a pic of a car or seahorse as a predictor that the person is a terrorist. Now If someone actually performed a statistical test to see how strongly avatar pics are associated with terrorists on my space, I would have no doubt they would find no correlation. having a picture of a car as a myspace pic is so common and with non-terrorist people that theres no way it could have lead you to a terrorist. so this means you accidentally found UBL thinking his seahors pic tipped you off. <----this destroyed your BS lie dead in the water.

other readers of this story have been made, I have not.
