Gotta think the whole network is laid out in these items, and impressive that the SEALs collected them all in about 20 minutes, takes me 20 minutes to move a computer from one office to another LOL

I think it's important that the media also comply by not showing images of OBL alive. If the president thinks it not wise to release photos, why can't the media, in their incessant coverage, stop showing images of him speaking to followers, walking through the mountains, toting guns, or whatever. Let's not resurrect his corpse at all.

On the flip side, I don't see anything wrong with the government showing the photos to family members that request to see them or members of Congress. I think that's totally fair and appropriate.

I like the allegory Obama used to describe his decision not to publish the photos: "There's no need to spike the football." Haha well said.

Reuters has released the alleged results of the US special forces mission at Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad.

Glad I already ate dinner

Personally, I don't think the photos need to be release, nor any video on the operation. It would be ridiculous to release any video, given the secrecy behind the SEAL Team 6. I am fine with no information like that released.

If there was any doubt that bin Laden was alive, Al Qaeda would be quick to say something about it.

Releasing a couple still frames of a corpse with no homeland "could pose a national security risk" but executing a military operation inside of an unstable, nuclear armed country, without their prior approval is not???

These photos certainly pose less of a threat to national security than the initial decision of entering Pakistan and absconding with a sensitive target.

What I know about politics can fit into a thimble, but when citing reasons for actions, make sure they are uniform. Release the photos.

Is there any benefit to releasing them?

Personal gratification of seeing his sorry ass dead.

I'm no conspiracy theorist but I'd like to see something that corroborates the US's account of what transpired.

All of us are getting their account of what happened from President Obama but even he has 2nd hand information. All the citizens have a 3rd hand account of what happened. I'd just like to see some 1st hand visual evidence of the result of that rather significant firefight that left Bin Laden dead.

This was a 9.5 year hunt that used up billions in taxpayer money. The war on terror is not even close to over but the face of it is. These are extenuating circumstances which should toss formalities aside, like Obama did when he pulled the trigger on that military op.

Release these photos.

Obama and others around him have seen the pics. I don't see why the public needs to see them. I think we have enough info to know that he's dead. The wacko conspiracy theorists will believe what they want no matter what.
