Why does this administration have such a problem with releasing key, absolutely essential information?

These photos have to be released, and they need to be released soon.

Yep, my son just called me from long distant saying the same thing...He's the type that needs the evidence in front of him before he believes it. He says it's very suspicious that they rid of the body quickly without showing the body to the world the way they showed Saddam Hussein!

Why are we being told they “debating” it now?

It was a question which obviously would have been addressed (and answered) from the very beginning, just like all other parts of the operation - including where to dispose of the body.

They are trying to decide whether the sh!t Obama will get from Muslims round the world when they see the pictures against the real need for closure (there are a lot of people who won't truly believe this until they see a real picture) for the American people. He will finally decide on what makes him look best and gives him the best edge into November 2012.

My guess is they will do it as the final leg of the Trifecta (Healthcare, Birth Certificate Release, Death of Osama). He will likely wait until closer to the election though.
