Osama Bin Laden's Death Photo Prepared for Release
IBT ^ | May 3, 2011 | Staff Reporter

Posted on 05/03/2011 10:48:35 AM PDT by Netizen

President Barack Obama and other administration officials are considering releasing a photo of Osama bin Laden's corpse on Tuesday, according to a report.

Also being considered for release are videos from "helmet cams" of the Navy SEALS elite team that carried out the operation in a town just north of Islamabad, Pakistan, ABC News reported. The troops captured the mission on tape wearing the helmet cameras.

"We are looking at releasing additional information, details about the raid as well as any other types of material, possibly including photos. We want to understand exactly what the possible reaction might be to the release of this information," White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said, according to the report.

Suck it up, Brennan, release the photos and videos. Give the proof to those who want it, and don’t quiver before those who want to be outraged (hint: they already are).

The Saddam video was a good thing.

LOL! Thought the same thing. They really know how to shoot themselves in the foot, don't they?

Osama Bin Laden's Death Photo Prepared for Release

"Osama Bin Laden's Death Photo" should have been "prepared" by announcing to a pool of press photographers from all over the World:

"There he is, ladies and gentlemen. Take all the photos that you need."

Ya know, like the Bolivians did with Che Guevara:

The news that Barack "Photoshop" Obama is "preparing" a photo for release does not inspire confidence ..... especially when the subject is lying next to whale crap at the bottom of the ocean.

The incompetence of this Administration is mind-boggling.

Well, hopefully they would have the faces and identifying marks of the operatives fuzzed out. That does take time.

I would expect they’d like to avoid revealing the identities of any of the men who took him down - at least I’d hope they would.

What good would a faked OBL photo do?

The “deathers” are as bad as the “truthers”: convinced of a devious conspiracy without a shred of proof thereof, yet demand perfect explanation of all they don’t understand and cry “fake!” regardless.

There was a raid on that site. Helicopters converged. Troops were there. A helicopter was destroyed. Shots were fired. Soldiers left. Photos of a bloody bedroom were released. The Pakistani government is outraged. Survivors were freed. DNA was sampled and tested. A makeshift funeral for the enemy was performed and the body dumped. Intel was gathered. A President announced the incident. Photos and videos of the body will be released. Save for an unreleased video or two, OBL will never be heard from again. Why, and how, would all this - and it would have to be ALL this - be faked?

Ummm... I was joking. Just a little barb to tease the administration about their propensity for releasing stuff that turns out not to be on the up-and-up.

Sorry, I didn’t think a sarc tag was necessary.
