Here's another way to look at it. If you are clear that you're for peace, you can use that as a yardstick to measure any action. Does it support peace, or support more war? Airing these particular photos would support more war, more human suffering and death. I'm against that.
For what? The deathers would just say the pictures are photoshopped. Causing more suffering for that is unconscionable, IMO.
It's good enough for me that Congress is being shown the proof, and Al Qaeda has admitted OBL was killed by our military.
It's good to know that wicked evil man will never again hurt another person.
In my opinion, President Obama has taken the high road in refusing to share the photos with the public at large. Only bad could come of showing them.
Where the Bush administration lost me was, firstly, when they had OBL trapped at Tora Bora, and then they let him go. If that was their game plan, the why send troops into Afghanistan in the first place? Secondly was when the administration announced that capturing him just wasn't a priority anymore......call me a conspiracy theorist, but with OBL having known CIA connections, it just made me sick. Thankfully Obama stepped up and did what Bush was unwilling to do.
