WASHINGTON — A newly-released email shows that 11 days after the killing of terror leader Osama bin Laden in 2011, the U.S. military’s top special operations officer ordered subordinates to destroy any photographs of the al-Qaida founder’s corpse or turn them over to the CIA.

The email was obtained under a freedom of information request by the conservative legal group Judicial Watch. The document, released Monday by the group, shows that Adm. William McRaven, who heads the U.S. Special Operations Command, told military officers on May 13, 2011 that photos of bin Laden’s remains should have been sent to the CIA or already destroyed. Bin Laden was killed by a special operations team in Pakistan on May 2, 2011.

Who knows WHY?

Let’s list some possible “reasons”:

1. Osama was dead a long time and freezerburn was apparent.

2. We didn’t want to “offend” any moose limbs.

3. It wasn’t Osama but a Jihadi actor playing Osama since Osama had been dead a long time.

4. It was an actor but Osama was still alive...

Since when do we do this? And since when do we do Muslim burials?

IIRC, The controversy of Hitler's remains went on and on. Don't know if it was ever resolved. The soldier who shot him didn't even know if it was him. And with 50 siblings and many doubles, who knows??

And why was the Islamic world silent?

Why would I threaten you by reporting you to the Mod Squad? I would threaten to report you to the people who really run things........

One obvious hypothesis, based upon all that
has happened before and since, is that
it was a double, in a show
orchestrated by the coup d’etat.

The USA is going down the tubes since the US Congress
abdicated to the undocumentedbutNobelprized Tyrant.

[ And why was the Islamic world silent? ]

Because they knew he was already dead and using his corpse as a tool for terror, if they fired up over it they would have showed their hand....

Probably a LOT of blackmail going on between the House of Saud and the White House... Or direct control, hard to tell these days..

I will go with door number 5:

Somebody from the White Hut told McRaven his career was over if any photos were leaked.
