Obama won't release bin Laden death photo

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has decided not to release photographs of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden's body, a senior administration official told NBC News on Wednesday.

Obama also announced the decision not to release post-mortem photos during an interview Wednesday with CBS' "60 Minutes."

The White House had been weighing the release of a photo, in part to offer proof that bin Laden was killed during a raid on his compound early Monday. However, officials had cautioned that the photo was gruesome and could prove inflammatory.

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill, some of whom have seen the pictures taken by Navy SEALs, agreed with the president.

"In my opinoin there is no end served by releasing a picture of someone who has been killed," Democratic House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said during an unrelated news briefing on Wednesday. "I think there is absolute proof that Osama bin Laden was in fact the person that was taken into custody... killed in the firefight."

"Conspiracy theorists around the world will just claim the photos are doctored anyway," GOP House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers told CBS, "and there is a real risk that releasing the photos will only serve to inflame public opinion in the Middle East."

The decision comes a day after CIA director Leon Panetta said that a photo proving the death of bin Laden "would be presented to the public," but the comment quickly drew a response from the White House saying no decision has yet been made.

"The bottom line is that, you know, we got bin Laden and I think we have to reveal to the rest of the world the fact that we were able to get him and kill him," Panetta said in an interview with Nightly News.

Panetta said the photos leave no question that bin Laden was killed. "Obviously I've seen those photographs," he said. "We've analyzed them and there's no question that it's bin Laden."

"We are going to do everything we can to make sure that nobody has any basis to try to deny that we got Osama bin Laden," John Brennan, Obama's counterterrorism adviser, said Monday. He said the U.S. will "share what we can because we want to make sure that not only the American people but the world understand exactly what happened."

In July 2003, the U.S. took heat but also quieted most conspiracy theorists by releasing graphic photos of the corpses of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's two powerful sons to prove American forces had killed them.

So far, the U.S. has cited evidence that satisfied the Navy SEAL force, and at least most of the world, that they had the right man in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The helicopter-borne raiding squad that swarmed the luxury compound identified bin Laden by appearance. A woman in the compound who was identified as his wife was said to have called out bin Laden's name in the melee.

Officials produced a quick DNA match from his remains that they said established bin Laden's identity, even absent the other techniques, with 99.9 percent certainty. U.S. officials also said bin Laden was identified through photo comparisons and other methods.

I think it's a good call. The photo wouldn't be enough to silence the conspiracy theorists anyway. I think it would only serve to anger his supporters and make retaliation (even though it's probably being plotted anyway) all the more likely.

What's most disturbing about that photo is Chuck Norris's toeless feet.

He doesnt care about black people, Middle Easterners or any sort of minority because they get in the way of his daddy's connections to the businesses that have swindled us .

Fixed.

I've heard the same could be said of Obama concerning Asian Americans/Native americans , especially the people who've suffered the oil spill . I just think nothing could've been done to prevent Katrina other than keep the infrastructure that keeps the water out in fine condition, a better location to put the city (It's America's Venice for cryin' out loud, why stay there if this always happens to them?) like on ACTUAL hard solid ground, and maybe a more efficient deployment of aid and response to the victims to get them out of there in stat and guide them back to normalcy.

However, the negelct on BP's part to FIX the dam oil rig , not nature caused the whole mess. Republicans and Big Businees D'Crats tried to then again suck the Oil companies ass while Obama did little to notihng. In short, most of those people who've been maing a living dow nthere for CENTURIES will lose their main source of income due to these jackasses while the ENTIRE Gulf ecosystem is pretty much shot to nothing. As long as they let foreigners drill on our soil and do not press extremely hard on regulations concerning offshore drilling for ANYONE , more **** like this will happen .

This is exactly why we need to switch to another ,cleaner fuel.

From interviews a CNN reporter in Kabul gave to the locals, they would rather have the Taliban. I'm done even having the slightest sympathy for these fuckers after hearing it. We freed them from being treated like animals and are there to STABILIZE and HELP them . While there are some wackos in our army that have done things unspeakable and horribly Un-American, we are only there to help them live as they did BEFORE the Mongols invaded or close enough. We should just let the Middle East kill itself and wash our hands of it.

Haven't you seen Waterworld? Kevin Costner's character was based on Chuck Norris.
