Why can't Americans see Bin Laden's dead body?

I posted a photo which is supposed to be Osama Bin Laden's dead body here. Most people believe - or want to believe - that it's a photoshop.

Barack Obama has said that he will not release photos of Osama Bin Laden's dead body. He has argued that the American people 'don't want to see that' and that it would be like 'spiking the football' after a touchdown (an ironic analogy given that a football is made out of pigskin, which is haram). But frankly, that explanation is kind of lame, especially given that photos of other dead bodies at Bin Laden's Abbottabad compound have been released.

Ultimately, the decision not to release the photos seems likely to be reversed, as have so many other seemingly inexplicable decisions made by this administration. In fact, I think Debbie Schlussel has probably hit the nail on the head when she asked,
"Is Barack Obama’s refusal to release the dead Osama Bin Laden photos a way to stretch the publicity over the kill until October or November 2012 and the Presidential election?"
If he can hold out that long.

Carl - Apparently this image has been floating around the web for years. Just Google Bin Laden Photoshop. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d5ksXCUm4jQ/Tb7TgJ8y4_I/AAAAAAAAA18/4kzB7GHDy4s/s1600/0502-osama-fake-banner-5.png

The photo you posted looked correct in that officials say he was shot in the left temple, but his beard looks too dark and not grey enough. Also experts say there is no blood coming out of his mouth, the result of a head-shot.

That photo you posted has been proven to be a fake picture. Look at the image and you will see it is a photoshop of a real dead man with parts of an actual image of OBL superimposed on it. Look at the background of the original picture and you will see, without any doubt, that picture is a HOAX with a capital H.

I am a victim of 9/11 because my brother Jonathan died in the WTC on that day. I WANT TO SEE THE PHOTO to have some closure on this. But Obama is being a schmendrik and my ire at him grows daily.
