Really? On one hand, it will dispel the notion that this is all propaganda/lies, on the other hand, showing the photos is disrespectful and is beating a dead horse IMO.

It won't dispel anything. Those who want to call it a hoax will find justification.
Hell....there are those who think U of M has a football team!

Well, it has to be released now or later. Better to do it now, IMHO.

I for one would like to see bin Laden's brains hanging out.

I don't see that pictures of the dead has anything to do with Compassion.
Unless they are published in Pakistan his family will not see them unless they want to.
It is certain he won't see them....

However, those who prefer conspiracy theories to the truth, will never be satisfied.

at least he was not burried in a pig skin.....Or was he???

The man was not evil, just a victim of circumstances, as we all are. And now that he's dead, why can't people respect the dead?

Osama? A victim?

Poor little rat. He can't help killing thousands and thousands of innocents.

I suppose if that's the case, his circumstances created him, and it was the responsibility of his circumstances to put him down.

You must learn to control your anger and look at things objectively and without taking sides. We're all products of circumstances, AE. If we look at people that way, we can be more forgiving and compassionate even toward those who wrong us; else we can go around and call each other evil, celebrate their deaths, and so on. Which would you prefer - becoming hateful in an already hateful world, or becoming forgiving?

Yes, and we all have the power to make better choices. The choices he made led to this end.

Mr. X is poor and starving. He has a choice - steal and survive, or stick to principles and die. In other words, if he makes the right choice, he'll die. If he makes the wrong choice and survives, the world will call him a thief. Technically, yeah, Mr. X has a choice, but realistically, he has none. This is the case for most people, so let's give people the benefit of the doubt and not judge them harshly.
