No Bin Laden death photos to be released.

Court defers to US lawyers arguing that the release could put Americans at risk.
Uday and Qusay are embalmed posed and photographed teh next day but Bin Laden is a no go....

Quote:
During oral arguments before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, at least two members of a three-judge panel seemed convinced by the government’s case.

“Why should we not defer to them?” asked Judge Merrick B. Garland. Intelligence officials, he said, “are telling us there is a risk that Americans and others will die if we release the documents.”

Michael Bekesha, an attorney for the group Judicial Watch, argued that the government should release a subset of 52 images related to bin Laden’s burial in the Arabian Sea in May 2011.

The government, he said in court documents, has not specifically shown how images of a “somber, dignified burial at sea could be expected to cause identifiable or describable exceptionally grave damage to national security.”

But Judge Judith W. Rogers pointed to the uniqueness of bin Laden — the founder of al-Qaeda and mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks – and noted the government’s argument that “almost anything associated with him is necessarily of concern.”

Uday et al had a limited secular following that was less than fanatical. Not much risk in releasing their post mortem party photos. Al Q is a different kettle of goat stew.

As mentioned above....That doesn't seem to hold up considering the support the administration gave to the movie producers...I would believe that releasing the pictures could be a risk if they didn't enable a $60M Hollywood production about it.

There's a good reason there's no pics of the guy, e.g he's been dead for years.

UB, well said Sir.

Yep, I heard he and que-say, his brother, liked watching torture videos made of folks being....,.........

Hope and trust they are burning hot in the Hell that is reserved for folks like them.

IMHO, the foks that need to see the death of this murderer to believe his death are without hope in retrofitting anyway. Be gone and be damned.

Exactly!

Wait till ZDT opens up worldwide, there's so much material there to incense the ultra-hyper-sensitive followers of the "peaceful religion." Oh, and they show the "death photo" in it too. Just wait

IMHO, same very-liberally applied artistic lincense as hurt locker.

Damned shocking!
You should have given a "graphic Image" warning.

And a spew alert.
