The risks of releasing the photos of OBL outweighs the benefits.

Is this hard for some folks to compute???????

Benefit? Lose the subject mentality.
The goons in DC work for us.
As if offing OBL and showing the cheering throngs of power hungry libertards and neocons isn't enough to incite anyone already so inclined

Imagine how we'd react if the al Qaeda killed one of our military soldiers and posted a gruesome photos on the Internet. How did you think we'd react? We'd retaliate.

Is it really necessary to release photos that could potentially incite the terrorists to retaliate, further making the jobs of our soldiers more difficult?

They don't have to release photos of his body or them tossing it overboards. They can, however, release photos from when the stormed the house and photos of OBL in that bedroom. They videotaped the entire things so they can just capture shots from there and post them.

No one is asking for gruesome pics --- just something showing OBL.
