Pres. Obama has decided NOT to release any photos.

I think the credibility of the USN is Enough!

This need not become political!
Credit to the Navy Seals and All Government agencies for a job well done is in order.
Nothing more nothing less!

(photos of tragic souls jumping from the towers)

Exactly.
Like I said elsewhere, thought/hoped we’d drop UBL live from the Empire State Builing after capture, with his eyes taped open...

[iopscusa]

So let our ally Pakistan release the daxx pictures! Rummy’s opinion is just that another opinion and as much as I think Rummy is better than most statist, he’s still a statist!

[bronxville]

Ditto.

[dagogo redux]

Hell, I think Nancy Pelosi is too gruesome to look at, and we’ve all handled it fine on occasion (or, at least, survived it . . . sort of).

[Commander X]

You are right. Glad there are some here who see through the BS.

[StAnDeliver]

• They want to stop talking about it
• They want to stop the talking about it

Plain and simple.

This is pure Clintonian: "nothing good can come from this, so treat the people like mushrooms -- cover 'em in shit and keep 'em in the dark".

Drudge has a link to some death-scene photos. Everyone must be clicking into it; I can’t get on myself.

That’ll just convince the conspiratorial Muslim world that he isn’t dead, and thus encourage more jihad.

Isn't that what Barky wants?

[wardaddy]

This administration is so rudderless

I find it funny that everyone was ripping Obama for deciding to release a photo in the earlier story in breaking news that said he would (an inaccurate story from Drudge).

Now everyone is ripping him for not releasing it (which is actually what they decided).

Don’t like the guy, but it’s funny how Freepers just kneejerk attack no matter what.

Frankly, I think it should have been released. Obama made the wrong call here.

[crosshairs]

Fox News just said Obama thought the pictures were too “gruesome.”

Barry is married to the Wookie. He should be able to handle gruesome,,,,,and gargantuan.

By now I’ve decided that no matter how “gruesome” Osama’s death mask is ...

Seeing photos of my fellow Americans’ bodies raining from the sky on Sept. 11 was worse. Now that was horrifying. Nauseating. By powers of 10.

So, if they show the picture or not, whatev’. Just don’t try to tell me that something like that is TOO gruesome. Because I will not forget Sept. 11.

[Per-Ling]

Actually, what Krauthammer stated in that segment was that this event should NOT shield Obama from rightful criticism that his foreign policies have been flaccid at best, but unfortunately it will.

[crosshairs]

This really ticks me off. This guy got a frikking 40 minute religious funeral, after killing thousands of Americans, in several terrorist attacks, and we are worried about upsetting his followers?

No kidding. And his service wasn't even interrupted by the Westboro freaks.

[snowsislander]

Another stupid pratfall from the Kenyan Clown and his circus.

[loboinok]

They apparently didn’t take any photos of him with undies on his head... pity!

[444Flyer]

Oh my gosh! #285! Those Beatrice fascinators... ROTFL!!!!

So it's not ok and "spiking the football" to show OBL's corpse. Might inflame the Muzzies.

Yet Obama is proud to have numerous pictures released showing him getting standing ovations and congratulations for ordering the killing as he and his wife smile and wave.

Make sense to anyone?
