Bin Laden's 'luxury' compound?
Advertisements [?]
Why are all the news reports referring to Bin Laden's compound as this "million dollar" or "luxury" compound? It looks like a 3 story chicken coop. I've seen better quality furniture in a freshman college dorm room. Look at the video:

* cheap platform bed
* cheap shelving with angle brackets on the wall
* cans of food on the open shelves
* cinder block shelf in the closet
* almost no furniture
* bare walls

I guess it is a step up from a cave, but calling this place "luxurious" is like calling a single wide trailer "palatial".
