To show or not to show the death picture of Bin Laden

11 May, 2011
There seems to be some people demanding that we display pictures of Osama Bin Laden taken at his compound following his death at the hands of Navy Seals on May 1st.

There is nothing to be gained by showing 'death pictures"  of Osama Bin Laden.  This president has made the right decision.  The militants of the world do not need another reason to hate the United States.  Osama Bin Laden is dead. Showing graphic pictures of his death will only be used to further inflame anger and windup further endangering U.S citizens and military personell  at home and abroad.

There is also no need to prove anything further or appear to gloat over Bin Laden's killing.
People, we are better than that!  An ugly episode has ended. Lets move forward.
