new question, though: how do you feel about the decision to not release the photos of his death?


I don't know how I feel. On one hand, even though he's dead a slight part of me still wants to be skeptical. Besides if anyone were to ever find out that a huge operation like that was fake the public might go ballistic. But, I do think that he is dead. I mean proof would show everyone he's done for. Though, if they really wanted to the u.s. could doctor a photo. I guess it's just believing that he's dead.


One thing I was thinking about though. If they say that the photos are too gruesome and might insight more terror activity, there might be another way to prove his death. Why don't they prepare a still photograph of him right before his death, or a few seconds of video? Then they could release that. I mean if they were concerned about any of the U.S. intelligence and anything else getting out a few seconds of video (and I mean literally enough for them to open the door and bam there he is) or one still picture shouldn't hurt. Just a thought though.

Click for profile 		Yet again, I think it may be a morality issue. Yes, Al-Qaeda make their "victories" public, but wasn't the whole point of this that we think that they are fundementally and morally wrong? Perhaps we need to think of it as what type of society the West wants to be. Are we going to glorify the gruesome nature of this death, or take it as just another step that had to be taken as part of the greater picture.

Also, photos can be doctored so easily now, that this isn't about proff, so much as the pleasure some people would receive in seeing the photo.

Releasing a photo wouldn't prove anything to anyone who doubted anything anyway. Releasing a photo would lead to the conspiracy theorists screaming ' photoshop!' and would be beneath us anyway. Sometimes killing an enemy is necessary but running around with his head on a stick really isn't.

Click for profile 		I think the reality of warfare wouldn't sit well with people when they did see it. The reports suggest a fairly clean kill but that still means wounds and holes where body once was. I also doubt the kill was as clean as they're making out.

I'm pretty sure it's against the Geneva convention to show pictures of dead soldiers and although Bin Laden is not legitimised as a enemy combatant and thus not coverered by the Geneva Convention I think it probably right for decorum's sake to leave it as it is.

Click for profile 		I don't know that it would faze most people the way you'd think it should. I'm sure seeing the reality of warfare live is life-altering. But once it's on a screen/printed page it's become filtered. And people today have seen thousands of slayings through the same filter.
