Report: White House Will Release 'Graphic' bin Laden Death Photo

Posted on May 03, 2011 @ 12:14PM

In an effort to quiet skeptics, President Barack Obama will release a photo showing Osama bin Laden dead, a top source told the Drudge Report.

The pictures of the deceased terrorist have been described as "graphic," as one shows a bullet wound that pierced above bin Laden's eye.

1. Good.

2. Just showing a wrapped body being dumped in the ocean would have been silly

So this is good. Sure it was the plan all along; they wanted to show restraint up front.

3. Obama is learning how to keep a story going

Nobody does it better than the Republicans and I suspect Obama is stealing a page out of their book with the release of the photo today and the trip to Ground Zero on Thursday, this story has effectively turned into a week-long event.

7. yes... and all the other cool things he's been doing - which otherwise

would have NEVER been covered if Lindsey had a trial date

4. The WH said the Drudge article/claim is false. No decision has been made yet. n/t

5. oh SH%T

6. It doesn't mean they WON'T do it, but they haven't said anything yet. I hope they DO,

though, maybe with pixelation of the gruesome parts.

8. Yes, maybe it's just a pause so that it doesn't look like Sludge is

a good scoop-getter. I know he's passed on bad info aplenty....but he used to be really good at getting
scoops...maybe that was when there were Repukes in the WH. I used to love how he would publish the exit
polls (back when they were probably legit).


I can hear the wingnuts now....when (if) the pic comes out..."That's not him. It's photoshopped." Wish there
was some way they could also publish the DNA results/analysis.

10. They'll say it's fabricated too...

Once you start going down that kind of rabbit hole, there is no turning back.

9. A WH source told Sludge?

I don't think so.

11. Gross. n/t
