Seems there is too much concern that releasing the photos might upset some of OBL's followers.
We certainly wouldn't want to offend the radical muslims.
They had no problem broadcasting the videos of Americans jumping to their death from the burning WTC...Seems like showing a pic of the dead guy who caused it shouldn't be a big deal.

Of course, this wasn't an issue when the photos of "prisoner abuse" from the detention camps were released. I guess some things are more offensive than others.....or maybe there are other political considerations that are in play.

The conspiracy theorists are going to have a ball.
However I am not sure where I stand on releasing the pictures.
However it appears that the elites in washington are passing the pictures around like baseball cards.
I expect one will escape in short order.

I agree, it's inevitable. St.

Don't forget that putting a gal's panties on a man's head was determined by the left to be a war crime and they plastered the picture everywhere.

probably the other "political considerations" are above your security clearance level.

I am glad. I don't want to see the pictures of a dead man and I surely don't want them displayed on the TV as my little children come walking through the living room. I think their excuse is poor. I would much rather them just say we are not providing the pictures and leave it at that.
