The Obama administration has photographs of Osama bin Laden’s dead body and officials are debating what to do with them and whether they should be released to the public, officials tell ABC News.
“There’s no doubt it’s him,” says a US official who has seen the pictures and also reminds us that OBL was 6’4”.
The argument for releasing them: to ensure that the public knows and can appreciate that he’s dead. There is of course skepticism throughout the world that the US government claim that it killed bin Laden is true.
The argument against releasing the pictures: they’re gruesome. He has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took bullet, with brains and blood visible.
NOTE: As of this posting, there have been some false images floating around the Internet of a dead Osama Bin Laden.

They should release his (birth) death certificate.

The oilam definitely wants to see the carcass.
The navy SEAL who put the bullet in his head will certainly have a good story to tell his grandchildren.
No. 2: I have never put a bullet in anybody’s head, but I do (B”H) have grandchildren, and I would imagine that one must be careful about telling one’s grandchildren about it.
No. 3…
Killing is not something to be taken lightly,
however…
If ever there was an “Ait la’harog…” To be the one to take out a rasha gamur, soneh Yisrael like this sheretz, is something to tell grandchildren with pride.
No. 4: Ask someone who has actually put a bullet in someone’s head, even the head of a rasha, how he/she feels about telling his/her grandchildren, or anyone else, about it.
