Osama bin Laden managed to dodge American security forces by moving undetected between safe houses around Pakistan in a large box hidden in a brightly colored truck filled with chickens, the Sunday Times reported, citing Taliban sources
According to the British newspaper's report, the box was designed by Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, bin Ladens trusted aide, who also set up the house in Abbottabad where the al-Qaeda leader lived for five years until he was killed last May by US Navy Seals.
Kuwaiti moved bin Laden by fitting the box to the floor of one of the elaborately decorated trucks that are a common sight on Pakistans roads, the report said. The box would be hidden under cargoes of cement, flour or rice or even beneath livestock such as goats, sheep or chickens.

I’d put this story in the same box as landing on the moon 43 years ago. It’s pretty well covered up and no one will ever prove otherwise.
After 43 years how come we never went back?
I hope none of the goats had kids.
“Camels of Carnage” sounds like the next album being put out by a Middle Eastern hard rock band!
Unfortunately, some did...
So is BHO guess that’s why his mother iin-law lives with them.
do you remember the National Lampoon video that came out right after 9/11 (but has sinced been completely sanitized, it would seem, from the ‘net)? Osama’s Cave of Evil it was called.
Is this it?

I do like National Lampoon’s “72 Virgins.”

Your comparison, or analogy, doesn’t work.
When it comes to landing on the moon, there were many thousands of people involved, and too many other people involved with the “production” of the TV shows and films. IOW, far too many people to be able to keep them with their mouths shut.
On the other hand, the mission to get Bin-Laden might have involved perhaps a couple dozen people, and only a handful in the actual battle. With the Bin-Laden mission, there was no TV production other than the “live” cameras used for the viewing by Obama and company. It’s much easier to keep a “small” number of people quiet about a mission, than the many thousands that were involved with the moon missions.
Pandas of Derision. That's what the media are.
