Releasing the photo would not solve the doubt!!!
Any graphic artist could create a photo of Bin Laden with a gun shot wound in 30 minutes.

So if you release the photo, the "Fake Photo" talk would start.

Obama is 100% correct not to do it.

12. If I had the original image file
I would be able to tell because the pixels wouldn't match exactly. You have to get in close.

4. And also ways to fake that too. Especially if you just release a photo of the photo. n-t

13. In this case, you cannot prove a negative.
You can't prove to the satisfaction of everyone that an image hasn't been tampered with, only that it has. And even if you could, we're talking about the level of conspiracy theory nonsense that tells people that Obama's birth certificate is fakes, or that Bush had Bin Laden in the freezer for years.

5. I think he's going to pull another birth certificate. Wait until the sheep are bleating loud enough
and then make them look like fools as we near the election and bring up Obama killing Osama in the news right in time for 2012.

6. There is no doubt among reasonable people, and no discussion with the others.

15. I think releasing the photo would stop the doubt -
Especially if bin Laden's cadaver was holding the "real" birth certificate in his hand!

That's all we are asking!
