Watch for the photos on Wikileaks Antigone Send a noteboard - 05/05/2011 08:59:16 PM
I have no desire to see the pictures. I agree with ßelals Girl, though, that the pics will be leaked at some point. I think it's so smart for the government to play it this way.

I just don't know what good showing the photos would do. I'm not convinced it would help with a sense of closure. I have a hard time imagining showing the picture to a child who lost a parent in the 9/11 attacks, or a parent who lost a child, and having it help. I am neither, so it's just an opinion, but I would think it would just add a new nightmare.

Finally, I'd be concerned that providing the photos might inspire a hint of sympathy for him. When people think of him, I think most picture the man spouting hate and violence in the videos. It's easy to think, "That man was evil and the world is a better place without him." A corpse just looks dead and pathetic.

Remember I was always true...Remember that I always tried
Remember I loved only you...Remember me and smile...
For it's better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry

No thank you. Sareitha Sedai - 04/05/2011 07:53:15 PM 816 Views
They'll probably leak out and be all over the internet regardless of what he does ßelals Girl - 04/05/2011 07:56:22 PM 950 Views
I have to admit that I thought of it that way. nossy - 04/05/2011 10:01:58 PM 759 Views
No. excalibur - 04/05/2011 08:31:47 PM 929 Views

*NM* Aviendha - 08/05/2011 12:14:20 PM 489 Views
But how do we know you're not excalibur pretending to be Avienda? snoopcester - 04/05/2011 08:40:17 PM 920 Views
Or me, pretending to be you? snoopcester - 04/05/2011 09:56:06 PM 857 Views
Sorry, I'm such a jerkface for doing that *NM* nossy - 04/05/2011 10:06:15 PM 767 Views
You're very unoriginal. *NM* snoopcester - 04/05/2011 10:07:27 PM 508 Views
Yes you are *NM* snoopcester - 04/05/2011 10:08:11 PM 508 Views
I vote yes. We should have release the pictures. Tom - 04/05/2011 09:38:37 PM 971 Views
Is it about us? nossy - 04/05/2011 09:48:41 PM 902 Views
If the photo exists, it should be released. Period. Tom - 04/05/2011 10:31:09 PM 1038 Views
I'm not sure that tells me why. nossy - 04/05/2011 10:41:15 PM 913 Views
I don't believe in censorship of anything that doesn't need to be censored. Period. *NM* Tom - 05/05/2011 03:50:28 PM 501 Views
That isn't the statement I saw from Obama, snoopcester - 04/05/2011 10:55:57 PM 858 Views
He always gives a bullshit reason for what he does. *NM* Tom - 05/05/2011 03:17:28 AM 424 Views
So, you think "you're too delicate" is a less-bullshit reason? nossy - 05/05/2011 03:22:16 AM 990 Views
No. It's even more bullshit. There is no good reason to keep the photos confidential. *NM* Tom - 05/05/2011 03:51:08 PM 466 Views
Heh. Ok. So says you, so it must be. *NM* nossy - 05/05/2011 05:12:33 PM 502 Views
I seem to remember you asking for my opinion. I gave it. *NM* Tom - 05/05/2011 06:10:33 PM 477 Views
Yes. And I appreciate that part of it. nossy - 05/05/2011 07:14:21 PM 884 Views
Is there a good reason to make them public? *NM* callandor1000 - 06/05/2011 02:19:42 PM 472 Views
Is it that you think there is no risk of increased attacks against Western soldiers/ innocent snoopcester - 05/05/2011 09:54:42 AM 872 Views
Due to showing the picture? No. Due to killing bin Laden? Yes. *NM* Tom - 05/05/2011 02:20:55 PM 465 Views
There are good reason NOT to disclose them. Variant - 04/05/2011 11:25:45 PM 865 Views
Absurd. Tom - 05/05/2011 03:18:34 AM 906 Views
~shrugs~ Variant - 05/05/2011 09:47:16 AM 948 Views
That is exactly how I feel. I have found it disturbing how many people want to see those pictures. Tashmere - 05/05/2011 04:05:22 AM 962 Views
If it exists, you should be able to consume it? Jacob - 05/05/2011 05:59:51 PM 963 Views
It is a government document and we know of its existence, so YES, as a citizen I have a right to it. Tom - 05/05/2011 06:21:00 PM 828 Views
ha... Jacob - 05/05/2011 08:06:39 PM 838 Views
Eh. callandor1000 - 06/05/2011 02:24:41 PM 796 Views
I think that is the answer that people were looking for from you. I may not like it still, but it Tashmere - 10/05/2011 03:44:14 AM 869 Views
I am against it ironclad - 04/05/2011 11:03:46 PM 775 Views
I don't think releasing it is a very big deal, but I support his decision Isaac - 04/05/2011 11:21:04 PM 859 Views
I see no point in doing so. *NM* everynametaken - 05/05/2011 05:31:32 AM 477 Views
For a complete sense of closure, to say it's done and move on without looking back, I say yea. Vodalus - 05/05/2011 05:33:31 AM 907 Views
Will he release the death certificate instead? *NM* Tim - 05/05/2011 03:04:04 PM 517 Views
