Photos of Osama bin Laden with the poll
 

Okay, blew that, trying again with the poll attached this time:

Should photos of a dead person shot in the face be released to the public?

Him.......YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes!!

No, as President Obama said, that's not who we are.

If you want photos, Reuters has some here and is making a claim (not of bin Laden, but of two others there)

NO America stands for censorship. Praise Allah!

honestly, i don't care if they release them or not. i'd like to see the seals in action-not necessarily the actual killing. but there's nothing like well-trained troops doing their job, and seeing it happen.


as for showing/not showing them-it won't prove anything. those who believe he's dead don't need more convincing, anyone who thinks he's not dead would call the photos a fake.

there's no body, no grave-no physical presence for his twisted followers to rally behind. and now, no pics either. i have no issue with not showing them.

Not needed

I think that with Reuters releasing the pictures of the wounds of the other people at the compound, that further decreases some "need" to release pics of bin Laden with the left upper quarter of his face blown off. Looks just like that, except there's a hole where the left eye and forehead should be ....

Big deal - bin Laden is dead. He heard the roar of the helicopters overhead, heard the screaming and gunshots closing in on him. His last thought and view was shocked surprise and horror at seeing an American soldier aiming a gun at his face in his bedroom. And I hope the soldier gave him at least a half-second to think about that. His body is already nothing but bones and bits of gristle left rolling around at the bottom of the ocean, eaten by crabs and fish.

Al-Quada and the Taliban has no problems showing pictures of people beheaded. I have no problems seeing pictures of the coward that was just killed. Maybe they should put an apple in his mouth. Bin Laden got a better burial than he deserved, yet people are saying his body didn't get treated with respect and dignity. Wan wan wan. Maybe Bin Laden should of been beheaded.

Amen!:rolleyes:

I like that even better than putting his head on a stick and have Obama carry it around a while.

Maybe they can do both?

17 people care way too much about avoiding pssn off Muslims. You may think it's possible to avoid doing that..... It is not possible.It's like watering artificial turf.

It's not that I give a damn about what radical Islamists think, I just don't think that's what America is about, we call them animals and I have no problem with that when they act that way, but we need not lower ourselves to that level.

Uh, excuse me, how many f'n horror movies we have each year in this country? That damn Aliens movie had creatures hatching out of peoples' tummies. All the sudden, we care about how graphic images are? I mean this seems like we are getting religion pretty late.

Big difference between fantasy and reality....I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Forever Knight, Carnivale and other Tv shows which can be graphic, I am not one to gape at auto accidents etc....I know the bastard is dead, I don't need to see what was left of his face.

If Obama does show some pictures of Bin Laden maybe his popularity will go up a measly one percent. Give America closure with this bastard, show a few pics of this cowardly thug.

I thought the 'good' muslims were happy about bin Laden being killed? Thought they would want to see the evil man that cast on them so much grief and prejudice dead? Show the picture for 'them'.

Being happy a man who brought them a lot of grief is dead is not the same as wanting to see graphic picture(s). I've been unfortunate enough to see plenty of graphic scenes in my life, I can't think of a single positive thing I ever gained from same.

Obama on 60 Minutes CBS right now, discussing this.

Glad I was at work.

We are all glad that you weren't subjected to anything that might have challenged your ignorance.

Spoken like the true troll that you are. Obviously you either didn't read Danzig's thread or you didn't comprehend what he said. My bet is that you couldn't comprehend what He said. Looks like you're the ignorant one.

You sure told him.

Thank you.

You can't (spoken with a british accent)

should have stuffed a ham sandwich or half pound of bacon in his mouth, trying to prevent him from getting his 72 virgins and let the SEALS show off thier trophy as a warning to other terrorist.
he got Way better than he deserved.

As usual your post makes no sense.

I know there is no point in correcting most of your ridiculous errors, but I'll help you out in one area.

You seem to think the DT member "Danzig" is a "he" (or a "He" if we employ your random capitalization method of writing). She isn't. She's a woman.

There you go. Perhaps now you've learned something today.

..uhm, no he's not...
