Having seen unreleased photos of Osama bin Laden’s corpse, US Senator Scott Brown does not believe pictures of the dead terrorist leader should be made public, the Massachusetts Republican said in an interview on NECN.
“Let me assure you that he is dead, that bin Laden is dead — I have seen the photos,” said Brown.
Asked directly if the pictures, which have been described as bloody and gruesome, should be made available for everyone, Brown responded: “If it’s to sell newspapers or just have a news cycle story, no, I don’t think they should be released. We’re still dealing with the sensitivities of the Muslim and Arab world. And we still have men and women serving throughout the world.”
He said he expects President Obama will OK the release of information “as appropriate” after US investigators have learned as much as possible from materials captured in the raid on bin Laden.

I want the photo to put on T shirts.
What’s wrong with selling newspapers? They need all the help they can get!
If I hear “sensitivities of muslims” one more time...
Who gives a ****? Release the photos!
Eh, I’d to order 2 of those shirts, please.
I wish he would shut up.
Our government would never lie to us.
Once again I am not surprised but am disappointed with the Massachusetts Senator. But . . . he is certainly an improvement over the creature that preceded him.
Let me assure you that he is dead, that bin Laden is dead — I have seen the photos,” said Brown
I don’t want your assurances...I don’t want YOU to decide what I can see and can’t /shouldn’t see.
How DARE you. You are not above anyone else...
PUBLISH THE DAMN PHOTOS NOW!
[And YES, I want them on tee shirts and bumper stickers and everywhere...maybe even billboards!]
If I hear “sensitivities of muslims” one more time...
Who gives a ****? Release the photos!
I watched the Towers fall, I want to see the d@mn pictures.
What makes Scott Brown think he is so much better than the rest of us that he can see the pictures and we can’t? Really? Time for him to be replaced.
Yes, especially the Boston Herald (Brown has a guest column in there today, defending his votes—apparently he opposed cap and trade and got the enviros upset at him and they’re running—excuse me, the League of Women Vultures is running—ads against him; he’s saying he’s concerned about jobs etc.)
I say run it. I saw a pic yesterday that may or may not have been authentic, but, could be—not troubled by it. It’s proof they got him.
Poser Scott Brown lied to conservatives and Republicans
and —upon election— said he was representing all people
including Democrats (and voted with Democrats, since).
Now, Poser American Scott Brown chooses Islam over Americans.
Says the lying SOB, “We’re still dealing with
the sensitivities of the Muslim and Arab world.”
Cannot post what is felt.

no. it would be tasteless to put his pic out there just to sell papers.... they should put his pic out there to sell DARTBOARDS!
>>I watched the Towers fall
They took all the footage off my TV
Said it’s too disturbing for you and me
It’ll just breed anger, that’s what they experts say
If it were up to me I’d show them every day
They say this country is just looking for a fight
But after 9/11, I’d just have to say that’s right

Sorry Scott “selling newspapers” is a VERY lame excuse.
If the photo(s) comes out, almost everyone will view the photo on the web. This has nothing to do with selling newspapers - nothing at all.
Which Democrat would you rather see win? Maybe you should support the Dem nominee, if you want to see Brown out of there. Hold up signs. Make campaign contributions.
Democrats: Change That Matters.
Brown is trying to get re-elected in MA. He’s afraid he will turn off the liberals and moderates by saying “sure, publish them”
