I can kinda see both sides of the argument.

OBL can' be shown because h was a martyr and it would inspire others to blow up stuff and become martyrs. The problem with this is they KNOW he's dead, but without proof he's Schrodinger's terrorist. He is dead because they told us and he isn't dead because we have no proof. Why would we doubt the story? Well we know the government lies to us CONSTANTLY and how many times have we heard OBL died before the actual big caffufle that he did actually die?? If you look it up he's died multiple times. I wouldn't be surprised if he made a new video and was like look it was a double LULZ I WINZ!!

The martyr explanation is such BS. Al'qCIAda confirmed he was dead and announced the new leader. Not showing photos isn't going to avoid him becoming a martyr. They didn't kill him that day. Thats the easiest and best explanation to the series of events that took place before and after.

Thats what I was getting at, the two theories of why we didn't get to see him. The MSM said it was because he'd be seen as a martyr, yet Al CIAda seen him as a martyr anyway,

The only way they won't show the photos is because dun dun duuuunnnn there are no photos. Simple he died in 2001 - 2002, i think he was buried in an unmarked grave. How else could they explain the "we killed him and stuck him in the sea next to Megatron"

We didn't release any video or pictures when Gaddafi died. We didn't take any, nor were we even there.

oh the ignorance. . ,

Can't film someone who has died already and yet we paraded the bodies of Sadam's son's.I think the reason the vids of Husein's and Gaddafi's deaths were shown was to send a message to any one in that region who is thinking of not playing ball with the Oligarchs.

However, I also heard the stories that MSM said that showing Osama's video would anger the terrorists and make them want to attack us more so what's the difference here? Were we scared more of Osama's followers than we were of Sadam's or Gaddafi's

Well then why weren't more videos of Osama's destruction released? I am sure other people in the area would have had cameras. When a real story breaks these days, there are multiple videos and images to either confirm or deny the things that happened.

Yeah! Right! Like there was a whole group of people standing around with cameras the night the SEALs took out Bin Laden.

Too stupid for words.

I dunno what to say about Gaddafi at this point. Yes the dictator should have died but I feel weird about the whole thing, mainly because he owned the most gold and how gold is pretty prominent in history and stuff.
