Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh told AlterNet that the Saudi Arabian government bribed Pakistan with "hush money" to hide Osama bin Laden from the U.S. because the Saudis didn't want American officials to interrogate him.

Saudi government spokesman Abdul Nnadhill condemned the story. "What Mr. Hersh said is unequivocally false. That was a finder's fee."



The Texas Criminal Board of Appeals is using the 1937 novel Of Mice and Men to justify the execution of mentally-disabled Bobby James Moore, who accidentally killed a man during a botched robbery attempt with two acquaintances.
