CNN, Osama bin Laden and the Online Poker Connection.

As CNN’s Web traffic skyrockets with the death of Osama bin Laden and the many questions surrounding the news on everybody’s minds — same goes for other news sites no doubt — there is one conspiracy theory that Atlantic City Weekly poker writer Mike Pritchard (follow his blog “The Real Deal” here) discusses in this week’s column, which will be published Thursday.

Here is a preview…According to Pritchard, “The theory is that the U.S. crackdown on April 15 against online poker was actually a CIA move to get the online poker records for Pakistan and Afghanistan. Seems one of those trusted couriers of bin Laden’s was a poker nut. Just days after getting the info on the courier the U.S. moved.”

“Of course,” adds Pritchard, “the theory doesn’t fit the time line that the bin Laden house was found months earlier, but you know what happens when you get poker players talking.”
