CIA says release of Osama bin Laden's photo likely

http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/05/04/bin.laden.raid/index.html




CIA Director Leon Panetta said he thinks Bin Laden's death photos would be released at some point; they are waiting for the White House to make final decision.

The White House had received three sets of pictures show Bin Laden's body, one of the photo even show his clear but gruesome face.

Bin Laden’s death body photographs could convince the doubters, also, to the United States, it is a release that the head of the terrorists was dead.

Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, thinks it is unnecessary to make Bin Laden's photograph public, because his DNA had been proved.

They changed that decision to a resounding no, and I agree. It would only agitate what's left of the organization he built up, and cause them to have an inspiration for more attacks. At the moment, they are down and confused, with no prior plans for a succession. Let them flounder without reason to find fault with the shoot-out and funeral procedures.

I completely agree. I feel as it if is completely unnecessary for them to make the photograph public considering it would only cause more hostility and arguments between the two countries. What good could releasing the picture of Bin Laden's dead, bloody body do for anyone? His death has already caused enough of a riot, giving people the satisfaction of actually seeing the aftermath will only bring more hatred upon us. Although I personally feel as if no good could come from releasing the pictures and officials claim now that they will not, I do believe that they one day will be leaked and many of the predictions of bad happenings will come true. Hopefully not anytime soon though...

I want to see him with a hole in his head. Just like they showed the video of Saddam getting hanged they should let us see the picture! I want to see how our 1 billion dollars a day in the wars has finally took down the man who killed thousands of people and stood for all the wrong things. Have fun in the ocean you BA!

They are not going to show us the picture of Osama's face...that would be inappropiate to the world. We still need to show the world that we are good, instead of leaking out the photo of Osama. We can get more critisim from the Al Queada and Pakistans.
