Jennifer Griffin is reporting that officials are saying the photos on the internet are NOT Bin Laden, the photos of Bin Laden have NOT been released yet.
She also alluded to the need to release them or conspiracy theories will run wild.
Evidentially the pics of the body have not been released yet and the pics making the rounds on the net are infact fakes.
US officials claim there are photos but have not been released, photos on internet are not valid. For a WH that likes to delay release of documents...this is not surprising.

“She also alluded to the need to release them or conspiracy theories will run wild.”
The arab street will anyway. They’ll say everything is either photoshopped or CGI/Hollywood special effects.
Kinda like the birthers...
Pakistan TV broadcasts image of ‘bin Laden face’
Pakistan TV broadcasts image of ‘bin Laden face’
(AFP) – 1 hour ago
ISLAMABAD — Pakistani television stations on Monday broadcast what they described as unconfirmed images of Osama bin Laden’s bloodied face after the United States said he had been killed.
“The picture of Osama bin Laden’s dead body has been released. It is unverified,” said the commentator on Pakistan’s largest TV network, Geo.
Other channels also showed the image of a face, which sported a bushy and black beard without any visible traces of the white or grey detected in the most recent video footage of bin Laden when he was alive.
There were extensive blood stains on the forehead and left temple. The right eye was shut but the whites of the left eye were visible.
The hair was mangled and the mouth was slightly open with teeth showing.
Television also broadcast footage of flames rising from a compound in Abbottabad overnight and footage after daybreak of armed Pakistani forces standing guard at the building where bin Laden was reportedly killed.
The compound is in Bilal, in the suburbs of Abbottabad, which is about 50 kilometres (30 miles) northwest of the Pakistani capital Islamabad.
One local resident told AFP that he heard helicopters circling overhead before heavy gunfire erupted between midnight Sunday (1900 GMT) and 1:00 am on Monday.
“People were sleeping. I heard helicopters roaring in the sky,” the man told AFP on condition of anonymity because he was worried about security.
“I woke up and then heavy firing started. It was severe. It continued for quite some time, then I heard a heavy explosion. It was huge. People woke up and came out of their houses. We didn’t know what is going on.”
“We heard ambulance sirens and security people shouting. We saw flames coming out of one place. Everybody is scared. I am afraid.”
“Today I heard from the TV about Osama’s death. I haven’t sent my children to school. Police and other security people have cordoned off the whole area and we are not allowed to go out,” the local resident added.
People need proof for piece of mind. Pics of a dead Zarqari, a captured Saddam, and Saddam’s dead sons were released shortly afterwards. Campaigner-in-Cheif Obambi most likely will hope for conspiracy theories to circulate and then release the pics just before the 2012 election.
That’s the fake they are describing.
They’ve been reading FR all evening. It’s reported here and they pick it up 30-45 minutes later.
The picture shown on the Pakistani TV is the same picture that has been shown on the articles being posted. Now he has been suddenly buried at sea? What tha’??
That was supposedly the same picture that was debunked earlier.
Thank God for FR. A Freeper flagged it as fake almost immediately the first time it was posted here.
It took three mouse clicks to verify he was right.
Why would they do that?
There must be a huge demand for Photoshop artists in Washington these days. Great pay, but they tend to have a short lifespan.
I smell a rat.
Yeah.....what the dickens is going on....you’re right...why would they?....and why would the Pakistani’s release that picture, too....I don’t understand...I am hoping that there are some real pictures of him from today if those posted before are fake.
The rumours have already started overseas and I saw the news of thousands of angry muslims in the streets carrying pictures of OBL. Love it.
