The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a partial list of documents found in the Abbottabad compound where Osama Bin Ladin was discovered in 2011. Down at the bottom of the list of “English Language Books” is a curious note: a printout of an article from ICv2.com titled “Website Claims Steve Jackson Game Foretold 9/11”.
