proving he's dead wouldn't hurt the US. if i had to guess, they can't prove he's dead
either they didn't kill him and instead came to an agreement with him (money can buy anyone, and he was a starving slob at that point), he died of natural causes and disappeared (he was old) or the body doesn't look enough like him to do anything but spark controversy
at this point i wonder if they even killed him. he's obviously dead or done being the leader of al-qaeda
I don't see why anybody should be able to see them. What's it good for? To saturate a void that has appeared since the renunciation of practices of public executions and crucifictions in the civilized western world?
I don't see what else it would bring except stirring rage among his supporters, further helping a solidification of a martyr figure and heating up intercultural and political conflicts.
Why do you need his photos? I'd rather not have any news on him and new pictures would mean a week worth of media coverage for him.
Releasing photos doesn't prove he's dead anyway. Pictures can be photoshopped. If the conspiracy nuts believe he's alive, they are going to keep believing it no matter what evidence is released.
It's usually best to leave a poll with only "Yes or No" answers available a little less coloured by personal opinion as it may skew the results, but, oh well.
I'm amazed by how hush-hush the 48 hours after the operation to 'deal' with him was deemed a success and how quickly they disposed of the body after 10+ years of looking for the guy, so, I would value the release of photographic evidence of his successful assassination (no point calling it by a nicer name, it's not like he was a nice guy himself). An enigmatic sea burial seemed ludicrous at the time, regardless of local custom.
I don't really care, but it wouldn't hurt I guess, as long as his head/face was intact enough to look like more then a squashed melon.
The nerve is called the "nerve of awareness". You cant dissect it. Its a current that runs up the center of your spine. I dont know if any of you have sat down, crossed your legs, smoked DMT, and watch what happens... but what happens to me is this big thing goes RRRRRRRRRAAAAAWWW! up my spine and flashes in my brain... well apparently thats whats going to happen if I do this stuff...
I personally do not want to see them however I do think people should be able to see them if they want to.
I'd rather forget about him.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
I guess what fizzbob is going at is the difference between killing someone, and saying you killed someone that actually died of other causes. I don't know what Al-Qaeda said, if they confirmed that the US killed him or simply that he is dead, but if the latter, then it's logically possible that the US didn't kill him and that Al-Qaeda wasn't lying.
as with so many other things Freedom isn't unlimited, and therefore not always granted as such.
Like in this case where it could result in extremely more violence and the death of "innocent" people.... I have to say, for politicians to claim such demand shows how incapable of carrying the task of a politician they are. Their interest is NOT the country, and the best of their and all people.
I hope the court is going to struck them down.
And this is what's wrong with this country nowadays. Whatever happens, what ever someone does, in no matter what administration, there is always some jerk dragging shit to court over it. And people wonder why we can't get shit done, and why we have excessive spending. Right there, these things have to be eliminated, and we free tons of time, and save lots of money.
Who cares about such pictures? They never achieved anything.
Like the famous Mussolini execution pics.... What did they change afterwards? NOTHING...
Just another example how in some people still that primitive barbarian gen is alive and kicking, satisfaction from cruelty.. Congrats on proper evolution.
