Without the release of photos, or a body, I have absolutely no reason to believe the official story. It looks like the administration is hiding something.

People who believe a pro corporate/pro military administration without question are quite naive. Wikileaks, alone, should be proof of the cover up and other junk our Government does. We should all be united in demanding evidence and facts.

Or no complaints when a room full of our dead soldiers was photographed and released to the world during the first few weeks of the Iraq war.

Are we always lied to...again, no, that's for certain.
Yes I do. It is also just a matter of time before the come out, it can be on our terms or not. I also know that if they don't show Osama, no one in the Military is going to say a word about it.

Not EVERY person.....obviously, but enough have. Do YOU have proof that what some of these military personnel saw, was NOT the real deal? No? I didn't think so.

Because one can of course tell the entire complaint history of someone else based upon how they posted now.

WHAT?!?

Obama is really starting to make me mad with this whole bin Laden thing. He wont release photos saying that they are to gruesome, but there are pictures and videos of people jumping out of the twin towers on 9/11?!? This president is giving in to terrorism, which means the terrorists are winning even if we did kill Osama.

The terrorists have no issue with cutting off the heads of people they capture, on video no less, yet we are worried about making them mad. I think the simple fact that we went to a foreign country, ambushed them and then shot him in the head pissed them off. They are just going to think we are afraid of them, they are not going to see it as being respectful, kinda like the burial wont be.

It's not something that we need to see.

However, people will keep on proving the stereotypes about the American public right, it seems.


What I'm trying to say is that should be photographs be released, they'd go viral in an instant, and possibly used in an inflammatory manner which would create threats to our national security.
