Panetta: Public Likely to See OBL Picture

LEON PANETTA: The government obviously has been talking about how best to do this, but I don't think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public.

Good. I am starting to hear a small group of people grumbling that they want PROOF! Probably birthers that want some new evidence. Though they'll just say it's photoshopped. Anyone see the Onion article on "after birthers"? They want to see Obama's placenta.

according to sources i saw quoted on the news last night....their concern is not birthers or americans.....rather, the taliban, AQ etc...they want them to have no doubt we killed the guy and they are raising the loudest voices

Then we get this

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_new...nt-will-not-release-photos-of-bin-ladens-body

"The president has decided not to release photographs of Osama bin Laden's body, according to a senior White House official."


The reporting on this seems so unorganized

 

[charver]

Hmmm...i wasn't much interested in seeing a picture of an old man with a few bullet holes in his beard before but then they hold it out there - "You wanna see it don't you? You really gots to see it. Just a little look, go on".

So, naturally, ones interest is raised ever so slightly.

Then what do they do? Tell you you can't see it.

Does anyone actually talk to each other in the Whitehouse or do they just announce things to the press in the hope that one statement in 5 may actually be vaguely correct?

They were just teasing the type of idiot who slavers over "gun porn" as if it was a portfolio of Page 3 girls.

good lord you are a moron...they are debating because of the taliban and AQ....good thing your mom keeps you locked in the basement

Guess you righties will have keep to fapping to photoshopped pictures of Obama eating watermelon.

yes, you are troll....the main consideration was not the right you imbecile....it was the taliban and AQ and the rest of the ME and world

The president said that for anyone who doesn't believe bin Laden is dead, "we don't think that a photograph in and of itself is going to make any difference."

"There are going to be some folks who deny it. The fact of the matter is you won't see bin Laden walking on this earth again," said Obama.

obama has a good point...they could release the photo and people, especially in the aq and the taliban, will simply claim its fake.

someone made a good point....why is obama all of a sudden concerned with a potential for violent reactions if he were to release the photo....when he ordered numerous photos of iraqis being abused or humiliated by US soldiers when they most likely KNEW that such release would result in violent reactions....why concerned now all of a sudden?

Maybe he just remembered what happened a month ago over the Qur'an burning.

My recollection is that the administration at first said it would not object to the release of the photos in response to an ACLU FOIA request, but then reversed course. In the end, Obama did object to their release.

so then when he released the photos of the abuse he "forgot" about the riots and deaths and security risk when the earlier photos were released

do you realize how silly you are

he still released them....and i don't recall him objecting. why can't there be a FOIA request now? seems pretty two faced to me. and of course it will only fuel conspiracies...

Gruesome photos taken in the aftermath of the US raid on Bin Laden's Pakistani hideout show bodies...



Eric Holder, the US attorney-general, said the killing was justified and that had Bin Laden attempted to surrender, the US forces would have taken him alive.



Meanwhile a senior Pakistani intelligence official told the Guardian that members of the Bin Laden family were being held in custody in Pakistan, including his Yemeni-born wife, Amal Ahmed al-Sadah, and his 12-year-old daughter, who allegedly claimed her father had been shot in cold-blood in front of her.


The official did not confirm a report by al-Arabiya news that the daughter is claiming her father had been held first and then shot.



George Little, a CIA spokesman, denied Bin Laden had been held by US forces before being shot. "There is no indication that Bin Laden was somehow captured and later killed inside the compound. It would be wrong to suggest otherwise."


Questions about the legality of the killing have grown after the White House backtracked on Tuesday on its initial account of the mission, admitting that Bin Laden had not been armed.

I don't think he did actually release them. I think you're wrong there, based on my recollection.

What the heck are you talking about now? What photos, these mentioned below, that weren't released?

"The Obama administration originally intended to release photos depicting torture and abuse of detainees in Afghanistan and Iraq by the end of May, following a court order arising out of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit first filed by the ACLU in 2004.

However, a reversal of Obama’s decision was announced this week, after he “changed his mind after viewing some of the images and hearing warnings from his generals in Iraq and in Afghanistan that such a move would endanger US troops deployed there,” according to a Washington Post report.
