There are confirmed reports that the photos of bin Laden's dead body could possibly be released. Releasing these images would make all the conspirators stop going on about how he is actually still alive. So far, the only pictures released are of President Obama, Vice President Biden, and Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, and other administration as they watched the raid on bin Laden's mansion.
BUT there are still reasons the United States is not releasing the photos of the corpse. Since, of course, he was shot in the head and in the chest, they are allegedly very gruesome photos. Not only that, but if the photos are released, critics say that they could offend Muslims and be in danger of extremists. The photos could anger Muslims living in the U.S. and they could feel the need to retaliate for revenge.
In my opinion, the photos NEED to be released. Not that I am one of the conspirators but we have to give them their proof and I think all Americans should have the right to see it. And if Muslims would get offended by it, this is America, not Israel.(No, I'm not being racist, but maybe blunt, yes.)

I say yes, they should be released, because if not before long people are going to start "leaking" extremely convincing photoshopped pictures anyway, and that would just make it worse.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, some photoshopped pictures have already been leaked.
