ah... i must be patient :lol:


Daniella,

They will probably decide to release one photo only after very careful consderation. They probably will never release the graphic video of the whole operation which Obama viewed via satlink.

Very careful consideration is required, only because the US quite genuinely fears that if photo/s are released then this may fuel anti American sentiment in the Arab world, and because some Muslims might find it insensitive and insulting.

These are the considerations they are grappling with at the moment.

On the other hand, the US might be eager to release the photo to send a clear message to other surviving Al Qaeda terrorists, and to diminish their resolve.

Obama just made a great decision not to reveal any graphic photos of Osama Bin Laden who was shot in the head!

For the non believers, the US is not obligated to reveal those shots and be accused of using Osama's body as some kind of trophy which will only be used by Al Qaeda to incite more hatred for the US in the Middle East. He will also avoid those images being used as a propoganda tool increasing the risks of further terrorist activity against the West.

The body of the man is not a trophy, and the images would've been disturbing. For most reasonable observers, Osama is dead, and the irrational will no doubt still be waiting for his next video or for him to make a sudden appearance at their local supermarket. :lol:

Barack Obama has shown leadership and will go down in history as a great Statesman surpassing JFK and Roosevelt. A great man and leader.

Photos from the Bin Laden Compound

WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHS OF DEATH AND INJURY BELOW

Photographs acquired by Reuters and taken about an hour after the U.S. assault on Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan show three dead men lying in pools of blood, but no weapons.

The photos, taken by a Pakistani security official who entered the compound after the early morning raid on Monday, show two men dressed in traditional Pakistani garb and one in a t-shirt, with blood streaming from their ears, noses and mouths.

Photos of his death are being passed around in the halls of congress. Sooner or later, those photos will enter the public domain. Many Americans are demanding to see the photos and if this President doesn't do it, then a congressman or the next President will.

There will be no graphic picture Daniella.

Quite frankly, there is no need to prove anything. The body will not be paraded like a trophy.

I can't state anything on behalf of the US Government.

A few days ago, they were considering releasing some photos of Osama Bin Laden. Now, they have decided not to release any photos for very valid reasons.

However, some photos of the other individuals that were killed and left behind were leaked.

WARNING: THESE IMAGES ARE GRAPHIC.
