Why No Photos Released of Osama Bin Laden?

I have to admit that I didnt want to see any photos of Bin Laden's corpse. I don't get my kicks out of viewing dead bodies. Sadly, there are a lot of people who do. [There are people, hopefully a small percentage, who will write to convicts in prison who have done the most horrible crimes, and want to marry them, people who collect souvenirs from serial killers, and yes, peope who collect photos of dead bodies...sad but true.]

On the other hand, the only way for Bin Laden's followers (if he has any anymore) to believe he is dead is to actually show the proof - his body. Otherwise, anyone "in the know" about his codes and stuff, could continue to give out orders and pretend to be him.

And of course there's the other question...why did the White House say they were going to release photos of the body, and then not do so? That suggests a coverup of some kind.

According to Rush, however, Obama's just delaying the release to gain more points.

RUSH: This photo business. I can't believe this. All of this dithering about whether to release the photo. I know what's going on here. They are going to release the photo. They are stretching this out, perhaps because we've got bad news on jobs, so they might be stretching this out 'til tomorrow or Friday. The jobs number, private sector, adds 179,000 jobs in April. This is from ADP. This is not official Bureau of Labor numbers, but that's fewer jobs than expected. It's a Reuters story: "U.S. private employers added fewer jobs than expected in April, disappointing some who had been looking for stronger growth ahead of Friday’s key jobs report."

So you have these photos, and they're just waiting to be released, and all this news about Panetta wants 'em out. And, by the way, does it not appear that Panetta is running this administration? You look at some of the stories that are out there, Panetta made the call to start the op. Panetta did it.
