Osama Bin Laden: Photos will not be released - Obama

President Barack Obama has decided that photos of the dead Osama Bin Laden should not be released.

US officials have been discussing whether to publish pictures of Bin Laden's body to counter conspiracy theories that he did not die.

But the White House has been concerned that the "gruesome" images could inflame sensitivities.

The al-Qaeda leader was shot dead in a raid on Monday by US special forces in northern Pakistan.

The BBC's Paul Adams in Washington says clearly President Obama has decided that releasing the photos is not worth the risk.

Sure Gov, we believe you, you've never lied to us in the past. Lets put the whole thing to bed and forget about it. These aren't the conspiracies your looking for, move along... N

I would have been surprised if they had released any photos anyway. I had to smile when I heard this. Confirms my suspicions.

[TWINCANS]

Don't worry. This kind of thing will never happen again. They fired the IT staff that forgot to back up the floppies the pix were stored on.

I think everyone would get closure from seeing after he was cleaned up and then dropped into the sea...

did he really drop 200 feet from the deck of an aircraft carrier?

surprise...surprise. Pablo Escobar deserved a full show of his bullet ridden body in all the media.Why? R: Because it REALLY happened.
Why doesn't bin Laden get the same treatment? R: You answer the question..............:-)

Its because he deserved soo much respect, of course. It would be a bit unsavory or distasteful to see his body, lets be mindful of his kin… What a load of SH*T. Really?

It does seem to be gaining momentum. Now would seem an appropriate time for Pakistan to find some witnesses to his previous death. Looks like this could also be a political move of opinion against them as harborers of the world's most wanted. Those drones again.

Interesting to note the CIA head the other night on the "news" saying that dubious torture techniques were part of the success story here, huh, so is this going to be rafted as the new rational behind torture, sensor and offshore prisons without even the opportunity to a fair trial by the laws we live by.. Sad times, when torture is being spun as part of the solution and a good part at that.

A lot of things are being conveniently swept aside amongst all this "chatter" we are playing along by allowing ourselves to be drawn into it, we need to take a distant mountain view I think, too much sh*t down here to see clearly.. N

[Seikou-Kishi]

I'm concerned about Pakistan... We know his death was a fake, so why are they putting up with the accusations of having harboured him, and where could those accusations lead? We should write to our politicians and tell them we won't tolerate troops being moved anywhere except home. Troops abroad can come back, but after that, nothing else. Not in our names and not on our tax pounds/dollars/ruppees

Maybe you hit a nerve there. Could it be a counter move to enrage, to require a military solution, even better a UN mandate for intervention. Could the real move be to incite us to call home our troops, for us to want them back. Control needs troops at home, look at the recent experimental practice inciting those poor students.. N

And while you're at it, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain....

[Carmody]

Apparently Hitler had 8 doubles, his second hand man, Martin Bormann..his dentist was a friend of the family and was Hitler's dentist. The bunker had a back door and everyone was forbidden to enter the bunker rooms he shot himself in until 10 minutes after the shot was heard.

To recap: an exit, 10 minutes, not seen dying, 8 body doubles, and close friends with the dentist.

so, did Hitler die in the Bunker?

What do you think?

[bennycog]

The release of the body photos was not going to be released. watching the news here they are saying that if they realeased any images of the body that the conspiricy theorists would find a theory that they were fake like the picture of his head lol they are so damn stupid.. Do they even realise that every word out of their sorry little mouths is a lie? And they were saying now that Obama has had his little interview it shows that the photos already shown are real and that his word is to be trusted so the conspiricy theories are now put to bed. argh argh.. the pirate is coming out in me, the cranky pirate :)

¤=[Post Update]=¤

I never heard of the back door in his bunker carmody.. ill have to go and research..

They are saying photos of Bin laden wont be released because they are gruesome.

No **** then why release these? aren't they Gruesome ?

**** you would think in the Worlds interest they would release the damn pics and proof of death, before it becomes one of the typical US conspiracy theories.

[dukes4monny]

Hmmmm......well at least they can use him again in the future if needed, after-all it's only a dream:

With their advance technology I would expect the same photo quality as a David Attenborough nature documentary recorded at night with night vision through a rock or dung camera.

But the photos that have been released of the compound are of bad quality as though taken from the back of an asthmatic ant loaded down with shopping bags on a newly waxed floor.

So if any photos of Osama were released you would be left wondering if that really was him or just somebody taken out the 'bin'.

[SKIBADABOMSKI]

Rolled his body into the ocean... ? Not worth commenting on.

Oh and the photo's is just a show of respect to his family and a way of saying thanks for helping us out and like a public way of saying we'll never forget the help from you for letting us blame your crazed child. They stormed an empty house that they had occupied for ages. Made it look like some secret guy lived there. (plants) and called Obama and told him " It's time for the photo shoot " he knew what it was about so rushes away from his golf game thinking 'it's Osama being killed time' bless his cottons he feels like he's in the know.. like he knows that Bin Laden was dead ages ago and confides his info to his misses and she strokes his head and says " it's for the best that the people find out this way " he feels proud to be the president and to be in the know.

Personally I think even the presidents don't know anything of whats really going on and just sign into the puppetry job. They can find out info if they dig deep enough but have obviously been advised against it or it's a Kennedy for you.

Anyway regardless of the pathetic media it's certainly an ace of spades card that was either past it's sell by date or is vital for the upcoming events. I highly doubt it was just for the small reasons that are obvious unless they were just happy to kill 25 little birds with one stone as they blew the dust of their Ace card.

I see an ending and a whole new thing. Nuclear fear will keep everyone distracted for a while and then they'll use another distraction and if nothing big happens then the actual big one will be huge. So basically the longer we have to wait then the bigger this thing will be.

The question really is " whats the big plan? "

OK thats my 2 yens on this manga situation.

the photo's won't be released because Osama was not shot last week...

A friend of mine who spend a long time in the recent wars said to me once if I would ever find Osama, why would I be stupid enough to kill him! Because of Osama all this **** is happening, I and a lot of people I know are making a ton of money, so why kill the man who is supposed to be responsible? I would loose my job and income...

Osama was trained by the CIA who siad he was not paid to accept the blame for their own doings?

these photos?

link to photos... (http://english.aljazeera.net/video/asia/2011/05/201155161514334290.html)

[Rocky_Shorz]

just kidding they were taken 1 hour after he was removed...


The photos, taken by a Pakistani security official who entered the compound after the early morning raid on Monday, show two men dressed in traditional Pakistani garb and one in a t-shirt, with blood streaming from their ears, noses and mouths.

The official, who wished to remain anonymous, sold the pictures to Reuters.

None of the men looked like bin Laden. President Barack Obama decided not to release photos of his body because it could have incited violence and used as an al Qaeda propaganda tool.

"I think that given the graphic nature of these photos, it would create some national security risk," Obama told the CBS program "60 Minutes."

Based on the time-stamps on the pictures, the earliest one was dated May 2, 2:30 a.m., approximately an hour after the completion of the raid in which bin Laden was killed...Reuters story (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/04/us-binladen-pakistan-photos-idUSTRE7437KK20110504)

Sunday, May 8, 2011PEOPLE GIVING AWAY THEIR GOD GIVEN POWER!!

What is it that you wan't to believe. My conclusion is that people will choose to believe what they want when they want, even if proof is delivered to them on a plate. ...http://iwillinformyou.blogspot.com/2011/05/people-giving-away-their-god-given.html

[Leon]

One can ask this question:

What is the advantage of releasing the information that Bin Laden was shot at this moment?

Take a step back and really think about it!

The US economy is up to s*h*i*t, they needed a boost, to make the people feel good again and look up... all the war is not doing it! however now Bin Laden is gone is there still a reason for war? was there ever a real reason for war?

[oceanz]

When are they going to release Osama Bin Laden's Death Certificate?
