    I for one will remain unconvinced of Bin Ladens death until I see the pics. Graphic shmafic, they can't be any worse than Michael Jackson circa 2002.

    Think we've enough threads on this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,386 ✭✭✭Killer Wench


    People want to the photos and video to be released.

    Then, if they are released, people are going to be pissed that the pictures were released.

    Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.

    Pictures can be falsified very easily, DNA evidence cannot.

    I also have no desire to look at the corpse of a man who's been shot.

    Nor do we need a snapshot for those who would revel in someone's death to turn into an internet meme.

    So no, wholly unnecessary and distasteful. Simple fact, if Bin Laden was alive, he would have made a statement of some sort by now to discredit the US.

    Conspiracy theories forum that way -->

    what you talkin bout Willis?
    this thread is about the release of the pics, nothin else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭BizzyC


    No, dont release them.

    Once you give the extremists an image it'll only be used to incite further hatred.

    hmmmm, the longer they leave it the more reason to argue they are being doctored. The DNA thing well couldnt they just say it matches? its not like anyone will ever get their paws on the sample.

    True, but they could easily send DNA to another source for verification if necessary. It's far harder to dispute that kind of evidence.

    Of course they could have just found his toenails and gotten the CSI lads to give them the once over, so who knows really. I just don't buy into the conspiracy - he was always happy to make videos, and none now? That wouldn't make any sense.

    They'd want to get their story straight before they release any evidence!

    A lot of money is going to be made of this in the conspiracy theory cottage industry.

    I hear they've already finished the animatic and wire-frame and are currently working on the rendering.

    Ye im not really one for conspiracies either but surely they could of foreseen the reason for the doubts when they have him buried at sea before we even knew they had him. I dont buy into the Muslim respect thing either, not from Americans towards Bin Laden anyway.

    Although Obama is Christian, he did live for a period of time in a Muslim country, and there are members of his family who are of that faith. I don't think it is too much of a stretch to believe that he has a sincere respect for the religion.

    I for one will remain unconvinced of Bin Ladens death until I see the pics. Graphic shmafic, they can't be any worse than Michael Jackson circa 2002.

    Not that shooting someone twice in the head and burying them at sea would have that effect

    How about a special issue of Hello magazine, with the Royal Wedding and the Bin Laden pictures all together?

    What price does the bidding start at?

    Yes... as the OP said. The exact same thing actually.

    IT IS A CONSPIRACY!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,153 ✭✭✭Rented Mule


    As an American tax payer, I would prefer that the pictures and video be released on a pay per view basis.
