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.

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.
