White House holds off on releasing Osama bin Laden death photos
LATTE Times ^ | Today | By James Oliphant and Lisa Mascaro

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."

“Public relations technique. Get more mileage out of killing Obama.”

yeah it keeps the story in the news longer and most people will believe he was killed.

Well, we won’t *know* that until they release the long-form death certificate. Then we will know it was photoshopped because the place of death will be listed as “Costellobad.”

LOL!

Actually, same person who photoshopped Obummer's BC is working on the Bin Laden death photo. Could be several years before we see it!

“I am not into conspiracy stuff, but this is ridiculous!

-it happen a couple weeks ago—— no it was last night.

-OBL used his wife as a human shield——now she didn’t.

-OBL’s wife was killed in the firefight——now she wasn’t.

-OBL was armed——now he wasn’t.”

Next it will be - OBL was killed- now he wasn’t!
Hey Obama, where is the death certificate? :-)

“Did you see the picture of the “brain trust” that was watching in the situation room? I’d like to have the drool bucket franchise stand for these half wits.”

Good business idea. Tell you what, had I been President there would’ve been a whole bunch of empty buckets of popcorn on that table, and an unopened case of champagne waiting for the good news.

The death certificate is locked away in a vault, guarded by lawyers, at an undisclosed super duper double triple secret place in Hawaii.

It’s obvious why they don’t want to release the photos. The focus would be off of obama. I’m surprised they haven’t come up that it’s against the muslim religion to post their dead photos.
