Thanks! Now I have to replace my keyboard.
It’s ok to kill a terrorist in the buff as long as you don’t waterboard them. That would be inhumane.
Pray for America
The question is: How much later?
I am sure the SEALS stripped the body quickly as they looked for intel, papers, computer disks, thumb-drives, etc, as well as checked the body for weapons and yes, a bomb-vest.
I suspect he was dressed somewhat and after the shoot and after a quick look for weapons, bombs and intel, the photographer was allowed to photograph the body.
It was a joke. Did you see “Full Metal Jacket”?
Oh, I understand wanting this guy dead. I understand authorizing lethal force. Obviously this was a hazardous situation.
But an authorization to use lethal force and an order to kill somebody are two different things. Even Panetta, when he was doing his best Dirty Harry impression talking about how this was a “Kill Mission” said that if bin Laden had been standing there helpless in his underwear, the SEALs would have captured him.
Now we find out he was standing there helpless in his underwear.
Given the weapon used, the range at which it was fired, and the area in which it impacted -- and given the possibility that it was a double tap as many reports said -- I find it surprising that the skull remained intact.
I would bet that from the time it took to pull the trigger until the bullet impacted his skull, clean vs. soiled, became a moot point.
Hey, I think the Obama Admin has accomplished the impossible - screwed up the aftermath of a successful raid to kill bin Laden. But I don’t see this as any kind of indication that they now have the unbridled power to cap anyone, anywhere. bin Laden was a long-standing authorized target of lethal force.
Well, this raises an obvious question: boxers or briefs?
One more reason to release the photos!!!
Hollow point bullets aren't allowed for mil use, per the Geneva convention.
It was a clean shoot:

Say the secret word and divide 100.00 dollars!
Bullets only perform magic in the eyes of those totally ignorant of ballistics. When bullet and bone meet, strange things happen.
OK so we are all adults post a pic and let the rest of America feel sure the SOB is dead. The Muslim world is already inflamed. Showing a pic isn’t going to make it any worse.
Jeepers, Creepers, where’d you’d get them peepers?
Jeepers, Creepers, where’d you’d get them eyes?
Gosh all git up, how’d they get so lit up?
Gosh all git up, how’d they get that size?
Golly gee! When you turn those heaters on, woe is me
Got to get my cheaters on, Jeepers Creepers
Where’d ya get those peepers? On, those weepers
How they hypnotize, where’d ya get those eyes?
Where’d ya get those eyes? Where’d ya get those eyes?
And it was reported earlier that he had money and telephone number sewn into his clothing. They were evidence.
Upon death the sphincters relax and it really doesn’t matter how clean your underwear was BEFORE that!
