Osama Bin Laden - Page 2

I feel that we should be very proud of our military. God bless each and everyone who is willing to put their life on the line for this country. I am so thankful for their sacrifices and their never ending determination to serve our country. It took ten years almost, but I hope this will send a message that the United States does not give up. I remember President Bush's determination to find this man. I am glad Mr. Obama stayed the course and Bin Laden has finally been dealt with. (Let's all hope it was him, right)

Surely it's against UN protocols to do such a thing?

I know this is way out in left field...but I would really like to see one of those little helicopters they used. A stealth capable chopper?? That's cool.

I'm surprised it took so long to find him. Navy SEALS - wouldn't want them coming for me!

Beats me. The photos of Hussein after he was captured were released, I don't see why it would be any different in this case, but that is just me.

I think it comes down to the Geneva Convention. According to the convention the pictures cannot be shown. The controversy is rather the conventions cover these terrorists. They aren't part of an organized army or wear a uniform so I don't think they are covered. The Bush administration took the side that they aren't covered. I think the Obama administration takes the same side but they aren't as into the cowboy theatrics as the Bush administration was.

I agree with that statement - but, today I heard another "take".

I heard someone say that the photos/videos might incite other people to join the extremists against the U.S., and that this might be another consideration in withholding the pictures.

I'm so proud of our Military!

They may not release the pictures of his body depending on how graphic they are. From what I have heard the kill shot entered his head above the left eye and took out a chunk of his skull. The medium sized rounds used in assault rifles like the M16 and M4 are designed to tumble and cause major damage.
