So if the WH releases the photos/video of a dead Osama Bin Laden - will you look?

[LynneSin]

I'm debating it but if I do look it'll be a quick peak

[quinnox]

1. Can't wait

I want to see the photo of bin Laden dead.

[Brickbat]

2. I'll look, but not for any of the reasons you listed.

:shrug:

[BlueIris]

3. No. Looking at the bodies of deceased GSW victims is icky to me.

Even if they were very, very bad men.

[Historic NY]

4. Its like a car wreck with all those rubber neckers looking for gore...

The internet will be under a yellow caution flag.

[Donnachaidh]

5. I don't believe ANYONE who says they will not look

Come on! Trainwreck syndrome -- it hits us all. Be honest -- your neck will turn to rubber as soon as the link is announced....

[Demit]

8. Tough for you.

Train wrecks do not make everybody look. If you're that type, fine. Not everyone is. Some people are sickened by the thought.

[Donnachaidh]

26. ahh, the proverbial high horse

:rofl:

like clockwork :rofl:

[Demit]

31. No. Just someone whose taste is different from yours.

[Renew Deal]

27. Uh huh

:rofl:

[cali]

14. honestly I won't. I'm just not interested

the whole obl thing is a fucking bore.

[LynneSin]

21. I think for most of us if we do look, it won't be an intential one

I mean, I doubt I'll google all over the internets to find it.

If it happens to be there I'll take a glance.

That's the thing about trainwreck - you only going to look at them if they happen to be in the area where you are.

[Demit]

6. No. But the reason is not because I don't need proof. The reason is because it's ghoulish.

What the hell kind of people have we become?

[Iggo]

35. Yup.

Right there.

[cali]

7. no. I'm not interested.

[Ohio Joe]

9. Other

I'll look. I think it will bring some closure to see the body of the man not only responsible for the murders of so many innocents around the world but for the murders of my friends as well.

[tjwash]

10. Why don't we just draw and quarter him, and put the head on a pike in front of the white-house?

We might as well just go the full barbaric route...no need to stop halfway.

[sufrommich]

11. I don't know. I think I'll wait to see what other people say

about it before I look,if it sounds too gory,I probably won't. Personally, I hope they don't release it.

[JVS]

12. It's going to be hard to miss when everyone is wearing t-shirts with the image on them.

[LynneSin]

19. That's what really scares me

I might not have any choice but to look at it if people sell it on a damn t-shirt.

[quinnox]

20. lol

Yea, you have a point.

[Dappleganger]

13. Yes I'll look but don't have to in order to believe he's dead.

I actually believe what the president said to be true.

[Lucinda]

15. Nope. If I see it - it will be accidental.

[blondeatlast]

16. Other: Of course I won't look, it's vile and disrespectful and awful and icky and disrespectful

and gross and disrespectful and disrespectful and yes, at some point, I'll no doubt look but I'd prefer they not be released at all.

[doeriver]

17. Waiting for the video to air on the History Channel

Do you ever remember seeing the published photos of Mussolini hung by Italian partisan during World War II? All of this photographic and video information pertaining to the raid on the Bin Laden Abbottabad compound (except that information would compromise National Security and the identification of any U.S. Navy Seal Team 6 members) should be released by the Obama White House for historical documentation and to serve as a warning for other potential terrorists acting against the United States that the day and hour of their own deaths are certain and their own last moments on Earth will surely be brutal...

[Renew Deal]

29. Will it finally get WW2 off the History Channel?

Of course not. :o

[northoftheborder]

18. I may look, depending upon how someone here at DU describes it.

If too gory, will not look. Will depend upon expert witness who actually knows whether or not it is OBL.

[drpepper67]

24. I didn't look

At the video of that guy getting his head cut off or of Saddam being hung.

[quinnox]

32. Me neither

those were things I didn't want to see. But bin Laden death photo, I can handle that.

[lonestarnot]

22. How can one avoid seeing it?

[KittyWampus]

23. No and I sincerely think the photo shouldn't be released this decade.

Viewed by pertinent Committees of Congress, yes.

[patricia92243]

25. I hate polls that don't give you the chance to say yes, no, other. - ONLY.

When "other: is an option, THEN people can give their own opinions.

[LynneSin]

28. But this is not a scientific poll

and there are various degrees of 'yes'.

[Renew Deal]

30. Start your own poll

And vote in it. :D

[patricia92243]

37. True, true - or nobody MADE me vote in this poll :)

[Iggo]

33. Of course not. I don't do death porn. (n/t)

[guitar man]

34. sure, why not

I've seen worse

[HappyMe]

36. No, I won't look.

I believe the guy is dead. I don't think that the White House will release the photos. At least, I hope they don't.
