I don't get it either. By doing so you're playing their game and giving them exactly what they want. Why give them one additional ounce of motivation?

Agreed. While I'd personally love to see the photo of that son of a bitch with a hole in his head, it doesn't really do much good to show the world the photo. For me, I'd want to see it for a visceral gratification, but I'd say 95% of the world has enough imagination to picture in their minds exactly what we could show them. No need to "spike the football" as Obama said. We scored the touchdown. It's obvious.

It's almost like, yeah, we killed Bin Laden, but why brag about it? 9/11 doesn't happen without him. At the very least we should put a bullet in his head. He's lucky he didn't get quartered and taken to the four corners of our country and put on sticks. So to parade his corpse on the net/news is grandstanding to a degree about something that frankly should have happened sooner than 10 years after the fact.
