Someone might have already commented this, but I find it the height of hypocrisy in this decision to not release the photo. All the Barry defenders and the WH are saying it's too gruesome to look at and they are trying to not inflame tensions. Hmmm...riiight, was that the same mindset when libs and the MSM were dropping images of our soldiers coming home in flag-draped coffins, or images of soldiers and civilian contractors mangled bodies in Iraq, or images from Ab-Gurab?

And on a side not. I DON'T GIVE A FLYING @&%$ WHAT THE ARABS WOULD THINK ABOUT THE PHOTO. The vast majority already condone, enable, or support violence against the USA, so a photo of one of their dead 'leaders' isn't going to change things much. Ya know what it will change, it'll make a lot of Americans, including myself, feel very good and proud.

In the Viet Nam era there was a famous photo of a young man being shot in the head. The media intentionally published it — precisely because it “inflamed” someone: Americans. That and innumerable other photos, in order to achieve a desired effect.
