IAN 2411,
Do you recall the outrage expressed by Muslims throughout the world by the posting of some ridiculous cartoons in Denmark? Publishing those photos would be worse, I think, not to mention that it would be just plain wrong. And just what would showing the photos prove, anyway? They could easily be faked, one way or another. Hell, we have thousands of photos of men walking on the moon and there are still idiots who don't believe it.
No, the only proof we have that OBL is dead is that he has not come out and shown the world that the Great Satan is lying! Don't you think he would jump at the chance to exploit a piece of propaganda like this? He was far too intelligent NOT to.
The election is a year and a half away! If he was only interested in that he would have waited, don't you think? How much more effective would it have been in September or October of 2012?What better way than to get those poll ratings up than by suddenly killing America’s most wanted man? Writing on a Tea Party website, one conspiracy theorist said: "Don't you think Obama needs something to assure his re-election?"
