Do you think the White House's decision not to release the photos of bin Laden is a good idea?

The Whitehouse, as usual, wants to spin this whole affair in too many directions that benefit only the President. On the one hand they want to portray him as careful and calculating in making his decision so wisely from all the alternatives. In truth, there were only two...do nothing or in the interest of guarding against the death of innocents and civilians, sent in the Seals.

Everything other alternative was a blind strike that would only be used in a battlefield environment. Secondly, they want to say that Osama was killed in a fire-fight yet by their own admittance, he was said to be unarmed. So, when did the firefight take place...who had the guns other than the Seal Team?

No one seems to want or to be able to answer that question. They want to portray the President as respectful of the Islamic faith whereby he had the body prepared and conducted an Islamic service prior to burying it at sea. They want the President to appear considerate of the America people by not showing the rather gruesome photos to the public yet no one is quite clear who he is being considerate of....the survivors of 9/11 certainly aren't the receiptients nor is the American public so you can only assume he is playing to the Islamic side again.

Right now, this is about Obama. If the pictures are released, it will not be about Obama anymore but more Like Osama. WB.

No I think they should show us America Citizens every & all proof of the death of Bin Laden .. The current Administration has not earned trust thus far . SO , We need proof of this event as well ..... President Bush showed all Saddam Hussein's .. He included us in the take down of an Evil Dictator that our Awesome Troops were sent to do ...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
