re: Bin Laden Killed
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.

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.

US seized 5 cell phones from bin Laden compound, as well as 10 hard drives, 5 PCs, more than 100 thumb drives - NBC News 9 minutes ago 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 |

re: Bin Laden Killed
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. |

re: Bin Laden Killed
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.

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

re: Bin Laden Killed
Is there any benefit to releasing them?

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.
