White House Officials Debate Releasing Photographs of Bin Laden’s Corpse - Political Punch

They have to release it. I don't think we'll truly have closure until the public can see for themselves that he is in fact dead. Plus not releasing the photos helps give fuel to the truther movement which has died down considerably over the last few years. Please don't give them an excuse to start up again.

So what's next for Pakistan? Seems to me they've got some serious explaining to do.

I heard that no country was willing to take Bin Laden's body, and also we buried him at sea so no one could use his grave site as a pilgrimage location. Interesting.

I wonder what buried at sea really means in this case. Chopped up in a meat grinder, pissed on, and fed to the sharks perhaps?

We need to retain our friendship with Pakistan because we have more al Qaeda cleanup to do. But we also need to revisit our positions, especially after we've done more al Qaeda mop-up. We give them civilian and military aid despite the fact that the ISI (their CIA) and the Pak military are full of al Qaeda / Taliban sympathizers. Yeah, they have some explaining to do.

As for the pilgrimage thing, bin Laden was a Salafi Muslim, meaning he and his followers should not be doing pilgrimages to tombs. But there are many non-Salafi Muslims who may have turned his grave into a shrine of sorts. The burial at sea was a good idea, despite the outcry of some people.

I agree that we need to maintain a "friendship" of sorts, but apparently our relationship with them has been pretty strained, even before this.

Bottom line is OBL was living in a custom-built, million dollar compound complete with armed guards, 18 foot walls, and razor wire, just minutes from a Pakistani military installation. There's no way in hell Pakistan wasn't knowingly harboring him. Pretty scary coming from a country that has nuclear weapons. Just saying.
