What I took out of this was that BBF point of view is that if US government definitely wants to confirm to the people that Bin Ladin is dead, than they should release the picture. Otherwise, there will always be a segment of society that will not believe it. Also, the terrorist side can potentially exploit the lack of physical evidence as part of their on propaganda strategy.
Do I believe that the US killed him? Yup. I also understand the reasons behind the burial at sea and the reasons for not releasing the photographs. However, I can also see the point BBF has made, and I can see why she has reasons to be
sceptical

Thank you.
I am really surprised though, that Obama said no photos. According to almost every poll with every major news source, almost 80 percent of people who voted chose wanting to see the photos, as opposed to not wanting to see them. This won't be a favourable decision.
Eager to see what he says and what is released in the coming days, especially since the news reports that several people have seen the photos. I read on MSNBC (can't find the source right now) that several people from the press have seen the photos, so it would be a huge surprise if they didn't leak.
