We did fund the Afghan fighters (which Bin Laden supported), however, the U.S. didn't specifically allocate funds direcatly to Osama Bin Laden. If, Osama did receive American money... it was through illegal activities. His terror networks gained prominence in the late 80s during the withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan. Like I said before, the U.S. backed the Afghan fighters... but it's not like they specifically sent money to fund Osama's terrorist groups. I could be wrong... but there is no evidence supporting the acccusation that U.S. intentionally aided Osama bin Laden.
