*** UPDATE *** Here is what President Obama told Steve Kroft of "60 Minutes" about his decision. The interview will air on Sunday.
"The risks of release outweigh the benefits," he said. "Conspiracy theorists around the world will just claim the photos are doctored anyway, and there is a real risk that releasing the photos will only serve to inflame public opinion in the Middle East."
"Imagine how the American people would react if Al Qaida killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the internet," he continued. "Osama bin Laden is not a trophy - he is dead and let's now focus on continuing the fight until Al Qaida has been eliminated."
They do, you idiot.
Bears repeating.
“if Al Qaida killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the internet’
Duh, they already did and hung them from a bridge in Baghdad.
They did...
But if you share the Picture of Dead Osama we will do it one better. We will remind the world this is what happens to you if you mess with us again, you can run but you can't hide with the following, I take no pleasure in this, but you know it would happen.....
* His dead face on the Urinal Screens just like Jane Fonda, ( serves him right )
* Various Tee-shirts and other outer-wear to mock him even further..
And these are just for starters..
In some way we need to see the face of evil dictators and or Terrorist, aka, Mussolini, Sadam, etc. we need to see this evil vanquished, maybe Obama doesn't get that their is or he was evil.
60 mins is pretaped so he had no intention on releasing the photo..so he lied right there...so who’s not to say the whole thing is a fake..
