The Obama administration has photographs of Osama bin Laden’s dead body and officials are debating what to do with them and whether they should be released to the public, officials tell ABC News.
“There’s no doubt it’s him,” says a US official who has seen the pictures and also reminds us that OBL was 6’4”.
The argument for releasing them: to ensure that the public knows and can appreciate that he's dead. There is of course skepticism throughout the world that the US government claim that it killed bin Laden is true.
The argument against releasing the pictures: they’re gruesome. He has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took bullet, with brains and blood visible.
In July 2003, the US government released photographs of Saddam Hussein’s dead sons Uday and Qusay Hussain but not until after they’d been touched up by a mortician, making them look not quite real.

Based upon the the conspiracy nuts here and elsewhere I say release them. And no .PDF copies.
Being a sissy pregnant girl I sure do not want to see them. But I want everyone ELSE (not kids) to see them! I want you of strong constitutions to all become convinced it’s true, and tell me! Show the pics but show them carefully. Graphic warnings, etc.
Bingo.
It's amazing what some people will believe a government is capable of doing, even after they've visited the cluster-f**k that is ANY US post office. It's positively the definition of cognitive dissonance.
Thanks for that comma.
I saw that photo on Gateway pundit last week. It is shopped
That is the 8 mo old photoshopped photo.
The whole thing smelled fishy last night when within minutes of the press announcement there were thousands of young males in front of the White House, complete with flags and posters.
Slams head on keyboard. ;)
Still wondering what it has to do w/the RELEASE of the photo... But hey.
WAIT! I GOT IT! The Seals were to hold the body UP for said picture and we have no Seals over 6’!
/HEAVY sarcasm
Obama is only 6’1”. 3 inches less muslim than Osama.
Do you think I enjoy being a conspiracy nut? Release the damn photos.
Why are we being told they “debating” it now?
It was a question which obviously would have been addressed (and answered) from the very beginning, just like all other parts of the operation - including where to dispose of the body.
Big difference between a President you trust and one which doesn’t know the meaning of truth.
While mac daddy has peoples eyes look at this, he will be doing another crooked thing behind their backs.
No wonder the Pakistanis couldn’t tell. That compound looks so much like the ones around it. Right.
The WH will reach a decision sometime in early August . . . 2012.
Don’t.
Can’t believe it. We get a drawing of the compound drawn by a 2nd grader. Where is the vegetable garden??
But no one knew?
I seriously don't think so.
