Memo to the White House: Release the damned OBL Photos

What a bunch of idiots:

The Obama administration has photographs of Osama bin Laden’s dead body and officials are debating what to do with them and whether they should be released to the public, officials tell ABC News.

“There’s no doubt it’s him,” says a US official who has seen the pictures and also reminds us that OBL was 6’4”.

The argument for releasing them: to ensure that the public knows and can appreciate that he’s dead. There is of course skepticism throughout the world that the US government claim that it killed bin Laden is true.

The argument against releasing the pictures: they’re gruesome. He has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took bullet, with brains and blood visible.

Like I have said here and here, until I see a picture or two, no matter how “Gruesome” —- I will not believe this story. This Government is not known for telling the truth; all for the cause of empire.

Release the damned photos.
