WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- An Osama bin Laden prototype action figure created by the CIA to be distributed across Afghanistan sold at auction for nearly $12,000.

The 12-inch doll, code-named "Devil Eyes," was one of three dolls created by the CIA in 2005 to scare children and their parents from supporting bin Laden or al-Qaida.

The auctioned doll came with a removable head depicting bin Laden as a demon with a red and black face and green eyes. The winning bid was $11,879, more than four times the asking price of $2,500. It is unclear who won the auction.

The doll was created by Donald Levine, a former Hasbro executive best known for creating the first G.I. Joe. Levine died in May. The auction house, Nate D. Sanders in Los Angeles, said the doll was part of Levine's estate with a certificate of authenticity from his son Neil Levine.

1. What we're all longing to find out

What did the Afghani State Intelligence Service's doll depicting George W. Bush as a demon with a red and black face and green eyes sell for?

2. Another Lame-brain CIA program

Graven Images are forbidden in Islam. Who is going to let their child have one of these, just to get whacked by one of the crazy ones?

4. Oh, come on, the CIA has the patent on lame-brain ideas

They really did create a plan to blanket the USSR with huge condoms marked "Made in USA, Size Medium" but the operation wasn't ever carried out. They did a bunch of other shit too.

For real entertainment you should try looking at industrial espionage during the Cold War...the Soviets tried to get someone at one of the Paris airports to scrape skid marks from Concorde tires off the runway, so they could analyze the composition of the rubber compound...the guy they tried recruiting called French intelligence, the French called the CIA, and the CIA mixed rubber cement with a ground-up charcoal briquet. The Soviets attempted to buy an American minicomputer for defense work and the manufacturer called the CIA; the CIA removed the computer and filled the crate with wet concrete.

Y'know, life was a hell of a lot more fun when we had Soviets to fuck with.

No more exploding cigars for Fidel....
