Well, today, they are being released by various British newspapers and various Arab news agencies.
Back on 29 April 2009, the same fake photo was released "by the Middle East online newspaper themedialine.org on 29 April 2009, with a warning from the editor that it was unable to ascertain whether the photo is genuine or not".
See Post 89.
This is why, in the Age of Photoshop, Obama's rush to bury Obama at sea within 24 hours is an extremely bone-headed move.
Obama should have been "buried" in a refrigerated military morgue so that the World's entire press corps could poke, prod and photograph Osama bib Ladin to it's heart's content.
Osama will become the D. B. Cooper of the Islamist terrorist movement and that photo, splashed across British tabloids today, will be the "proof" to the "Arab street" that Osama's death was "faked".
After hunting Osama for so long, I cannot think of a more idiotic decision by Obama than seending the undeniable proof of his death to the bottom of the ocean in less than 24 hours.
