Anyone see the Today show this morning? This segment is from the village where the compound was. At 2:02, they show a still of a pakistani newspaper. I'm guessing it is showing headlines about the event. There is a picture of what appears to be a battered-looking bust of a male sporting a beard on the upper-left. Is it something entirely unrelated?

Any urdu (pashto???) speakers able to translate?

Note: I'm NOT trying to start any conspiracy theories or rumors. This just caught my eye and i was curious.

That is pathetic. MSNBC used a faked photo from several years ago. It appeared again in some British newspapers yesterday. Apparently in Pakistani papers as well. The unprofessionalism of the mainstream media never ceases to amaze me.

No picture in that link. Lots of media sources say they expect pictures of the body and maybe even video to be released soon though.

There was one, faked from several years ago, 2/3rds the way though the video as published in a Pakistani newspaper. Reading links & watching attached videos is fundamental.


Yes, the WH will be releasing at least one soon.

WHITE HOUSE TO RELEASE BIN LADEN DEATH PHOTO
Tue May 03 2011 10:22:50 ET

President Obama decided Tuesday morning to release at least one photo showing Osama Bin Laden's death, a top source claims.

The images, being described as 'graphic', are bound to stir emotions in the east and the west, and will likely become the most viewed photographs in modern history.

One image shows a bullet wound to his head above his left eye.

Will it remove all doubt about the death?

The exact timing on the release is being debated.

Developing...

MSBNC was the ones who reported before Obama spoke that OBL was killed more then a week ago.

They cannot do anything correct.
