US lawmaker says risk of photo release too high

so releasing pictures of abu ghraib is ok.....but not the photos of bin laden dead?

Total @#$% response. These people HATE us already, this picture will change NOTHING, except to further cause problems of doubt, giving more credence to the conspiracy theorists. And another typical obama waffle....

The American people expect and demand transparancy, and obama's not supposed to play "daddy" and let us see and not see things. Turn it over to the American people, you arrogant @#$%.

I find it interesting that we have seen videos of Americans having their heads cut off, screaming bloody murder. We have seen photos of American and allied soldiers posing with detainees and dead enemies, hence enflaming the Islamic world and no one says a word because all of these images are damaging to Americans prestige and national conscience.

When the images could strengthen America's image abroad and fortify the spirit of the nation, they are too gruesome for us to view.

You decide how to interpret the behavior of our national media and this administration.

Please don't be this naive, folks.

The image will be released when the timing best benefits Obama's re-election hopes. And yes, this means a little farther down the calendar as we approach November 2012.

Okay, you read it here first. But you knew it in your hearts already...

quit the tap dancing. the truth is better than spin. it was an assassination team. they went to kill him. here is the pick. it is ugly. so were the wtc jumpers. the spin makes the admin look like liars and fools. just the fact please.

we paid for the operation, lets see the results.

If the piece of garbage liberal president wasnt going to show us proof he was dead, why not just send in cruise missles? The lie we heard was so we could get DNA to confirm. @#$%, they were able to gather DNA from 10 year old 911 bone fragments what has been buring for a month under 3966923692313692132169 tons of steal. WHAT A COMPLETE DEBACLE this piece of garbage president is

Show the photo.

We seen the photos of Uday & Qusay Hussein. We saw Sadaam's photo & Zarqawi's. Why not Bin Laden's? I'm sick and tired of not wanting to "offend Muslims" and being sensitive to their culture. Why aren't they sensitive to ours?

Show the photo, put all conspiracy theories to bed and move on.

If you don't want to view the photo .... don't look at it.

Don't believe ANYTHING you see or read from this Administration. They are liars and masters of deception. It is a shame that we can no longer trust our own government.

Can you be certain Bin Laden is dead, or that he died two days ago and not 7 years ago?
This President is a master deceptor -- most Socialists are!

So much for the transparency of this POS we are saddled with. What's worng with this idea of PC. We are adults and if we wish not to view the pics, it is our choice and we do not need the federal government holding our hands. There are far too many questions swirling around this action not to be allowed to make up our own minds about wat happened. It was out tax money that funded the action ��� we deserve to see what it bought.

Trust but verify - exactly where is the proof. Any good cop, lawyer or CSI knows that immediate destruction of a body - means someone is attempting to cover something up. Incite future attacks - so exactly what did America do to incite the attack on 2987 innocent Americans on September 11, 2001? They hate us - so what? They kill each other and innocents - so what? Until we PROVE to everyone in the World that US Armed Forces killed Osama bin Laden - every single person in the World is at risk from radical extremists who happen to be Islamic. Let's show them that, even under a gutless Democrat President, America can exact justice for innocents killed.

Obama says no picture now. What a joke! From the moment OBL was killed the handling of this has been a complete farce.

Half of the Muslim world doesn't even know what DNA is. Show the photo!

WORST PRESIDENT EVER.

This is what we used to call in the olden days a CIRCLE JERK

Who the hell do these people think they are? Telling us what photos we can see and what we can't, and prejudging our motives.

We're their bosses, not the other way around.

Release the photos and the burial video.

HorseCr*p, I say! So worried about the backlash. It's gonna be the same whether the pic is shown or not. I WANT TO SEE HIS BRAIN MATTER! Don't you fools get it? They made sure to show us Daniel Pearl getting beheaded, they didn't just tell us they did it, dumbasses.

So the Aggitator In Chief delayed going in with a drone attact so we would have a body so people wouldn't be able to deny Osama was killed? Well, he sure convinced everyone!!!! We should all just believe what the Great Aggitator In Chief says.
(sarcasim off now)

The only difference between Obama and Osama is the....@#$%!!!

LOL as they say. Not showing the photo fits right in with shoeless pat-downs and naked scanning of airline passengers. Islam means "submit" and the politicians submit completely.

Does anyone believe US FORCES could be in any greater danger? This is a joke.

Let me see if I understand:

1) Them posting photos of our troops hanging from bridge ok?
2) Them posting videos of American Citizens being murdered ok?

Please, lets not enflame the Muslims with a dead leader, after all, they are a peaceful people.
Show the @#$% photo and get on with it. This is a war and sadly, we are becoming the losers.

Obama is a politically correct coward. also leaking out that hero Obama did NOT even want to launch the attack , but was brow beaten by Panetta to launch.

For the millionith time since Obama got annointed, I am not proud of my country. What a bunch of weasels...I'm sick it, 2012 can't come soon enough!
