Imagine how the American people would react if al Qaeda killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the Internet. Osama bin Laden is not a trophy

Holy fuck. Seriously?

The more I watch the news the more I wonder...
Is Jimmy Hoffa alive and living in Pakistan?

He was willing to release the photos of the alleged abuses at Abu Grahib but this is too offensive to Muslims.....I don't get it.

my $.02
I am of the opinion that this photo doesn't belong to the Government it belongs to the people of the U.S. I know that seems like an over the top sentiment, but it makes sense.
9/11 affected very tangibly every citizen in the U.S. and much of the world for that matter. We often hear and use terms like pre and post 9/11. To me any citizen that wishes to see photo's of dead Osama should have that right. It is akin to inviting families to watch the execution of a murderer. It is a way to balance the scales of justice.
I'm not advocating releasing information of the operation, people involved, sources etc., but because we can't watch his trial/execution the photos seem to be the only way to obtain the closure that I think many in America are seeking after a decade.
I don't buy the argument about it being a risk to national security. Without the photo his assasination is still going to be used as a propaganda tool for those who would use it as such. Those who would seek to kill us, will continue to do so.
I just don't think that they should deny us access to the photos of the most wanted man of 21st century, while they pass it around capital hill like a playboy in a dorm.

Richard & Billy L- Jimmy "The Weasel" Fratiano said in an interview, years ago, that Jimmy Hoffa is a hubcap on a Buick.

Do people say the same thing about Saddam? Why was his death photo released? It ended all doubt (or almost all doubt).
I guarantee that this operation had more video cameras than most. If people say the photo is a fake, then show the helmet cam of the guy who last saw him alive.
But to answer your question, yes it will help to release the photo. It's not going to excite the Islamic world any more than they already are.

I don't think we'll ever see the video of him getting killed.
Suppose they were under orders to kill him no matter what?
Would it be impossible to consider after all the smoke cleared that they stood him up and shot him in the head?
I find it hard to believe we actually wanted him alive. His chapter is over, if we capture him alive, it takes two years to find a trial location, a year trial, then what, put him to death? Talk about problems.
