Dammit. And here I was just writing a story for WND about how bin Laden is actually alive, in American custody, and in a cell deep inside Cheyenne Mountain. He's receiving free medical care, but the US is torturing him like crazy. They just wanted Al Qaeda to think he was killed, but he's spilling the beans on his old buddies so Obama can make huge advances in the war on terror to keep people from looking into his birth certificate.
Releasing the pictures is going to make things a little difficult.

The CIA has argued that such a disclosure would "trigger violence" around the globe
Whatever. A cartoon sets off the nutters, too. A slab of bacon, an uncovered leg, a song...shiat, I hope the whole world not only sees the corpse, but also finds out that SEAL who plugged Crazy Sammy is as gay as an Easter bonnet at an Erasure show in Provincetown on Oscar Wilde's birthday.

Obama has shown no compunction in using the military to stage elaborate attention diverting operations at politically expedient times.
An October Surprise is certainly in the works.

They may lose. I dont think national security is a valid reason. We killed the guy responsible, so suck it retaliators; bring your worst if you think you can handle it.
I disagree with the tag 'bloodthirstymitter' though. I think it has more to do with proof and closure which Americans are owed considering the price paid.

Really. How can photographic, even video footage be solid evidence of anything anymore when anyone with intermediate PhotoShop or AfterEffects experience can whip up anything they want?

Right Wing response to pics not being released:
What are you hiding? Why don't you want us to see bin Laden after death? Is he really dead? Why do you hate America?
Right Wing response to pics being released:
Why the hell did you release those? Now you're enabling our enemies! You've handed them new membership on a silver platter! Those photos are gruesome, what if a child saw that?!?! Won't somebody please think of the children? Why do you hate America?

I don't really need to see them, and I'm not sure I see what good it would do to release them. There probably is a legitimate legal/contitutionsl right to demand their public release, but this is another example of a situation where just because you
have the right
to demand something, it doesn't mean it's a
good idea
to demand it.

It was mostly tongue in cheek...but google it, they are out there. I doubt they accept Obama's birth certificate, too.
You did say "rational," I'll give you that, but there are a large number of irrational people around here, and what they think matters (unfortunately)

But he is the farking President. He made this decision after weighing the pro's and con's of such. Its not like he is withholding information about a massacre of civilians at a refugee camp. Its a picture of a farking corpse.
Jesus farking Christ, people.
Osama is dead. He was killed in May of last year. How do I know that? Because no one in their right farking mind would commit such an easily refutable case of fraud. Hell, even Al Qeada admitted it.

Sure, but you're assuming that cyberzombie William Casey, DCI, isn't ussing the orders from the tunnels linking the Veep's underground bunker to Arlington.

Exactly, there are no eggshells to be walked upon around these nuts, they'd act like savages just watching Strawberry Shortcake while eating fruit rollups.
