By James Oliphant and Lisa Mascaro May 3, 2011, 11:33 a.m. The White House on Tuesday continued to refuse to make public gruesome photos affirming Osama bin Laden’s death, despite calls from some corners among politicians, the families of 9/11 victims and some skeptics for it to do so.

"There are sensitivities here in terms of the appropriateness of releasing photographs," said White House spokesman Jay Carney, who added that the photos of Bin Laden's corpse "could be inflammatory."

SNAFU...

This is unbelievable...just unfreakingbelievable.. release, don't release, good for us, bad for us ... can we get Jimmy Carter back?

[sappy]

ok. will obamas college grades, law review writings and thesis be inlammatory? cause, i’d like to see those too actually.

[CommieCutter]

Think Jimmy will challenge Obama in the primary?

[Freddd]

Alleged killing of Osama.

This is the same admin who was going to prosecute our C.I.A. agents.

Now they are worried about ‘sensitivities’ of their beloved Muslim brothers..

[Zipporah]

Because it hasn't been photoshopped yet...

Look, Obama losing credibility is a GOOD thing...

[Freddd]

Taking Hollywood a long time to get this video and pictures made up eh?

[tet68]

Ok, don’t release Osama’s picture,

RELEASE ALL THE PHOTOS OF THE 911 jumpers,
Falling through the air, their smashed bodies
on the pavement, their blood and brains splattered
on the ground, maybe that will remind us what
we are fighting for.

I don’t care if Moslims are inflamed, the more the
better, they are crazed anyway, drive them over the
edge and let THEM pay the price of their madness.

[cydcharisse]

Right, they got Bin Laden and it’s SNAFU. Good thinking.

[dforest]

It is already inflammatory. Everything to Muslims is inflammatory.

Or is it you have no photos, Jay?

Muslms have been looking a fake ones for two days. I am sure they are appropriately inflamed already.

[cranked]

Maybe the AnnointedIdiot needs “16 hours” to think more on this...../s =.=

[tophat9000]

Man Obomb is just one giant walking cluster f—k ...release the photos dumb ass! your just digging a hole stupid

[KarlInOhio]

Did they fire Skippy the Intern, the only person in the White House who knew how to work the scanner, after the multi-layer PDF strangeness from the birth certificate?

[A CA Guy]

He needs another 16 hours before someone tells him what to do.

[BubbaJunebug]

CALLING MR. TRUMP....MR TRUMP TO THE FRONT PLEASE

[Tex-Con-Man]

The first Republican presidential contender who says they want to release the Bin Laden photos because they "could be inflammatory" will lead the next poll.

[max americana]

Why are people so antsy? It takes a while to jet in some Photoshop experts..

[EternalVigilance]

New tagline.

[USMCPOP]

After the birth certificate fiasco, they are being cautious. The Photoshop Czar hasn’t yet mastered the lipstick-on-a-pig tool in the new release.

[No Truce With Kings]

They are waiting for the Donald to demand to see the death certificate.
