Would Releasing Bin Laden's Death Photo Just Fuel Conspiracy Theories?

    I saw an interesting discussion on conspiracy theorists the other day. When conspiracy theorists are confronted with 95 experts contradicting their theory and in a field of study that is directly related to the issue these conspiracy theorists are at odds with, they simply expand the conspiracy to include the 95 experts in their conspiracy. The conspiracy theory keeps people from having to admit that they may have bought into a bunch a crap by providing an out for any possible contradictory evidence.
    I just want to say that conspiracy theories are total crap and anyone believing in them should see a psychiatrist as soon as possible. I don't care who you are or what you believe, show me one conspiracy theory that has ever been proven to be true and is now accepted as fact. Good luck. Perhaps there is a conspiracy to cover up all those conspiracies that have been proven to be more than mere conspiracies and we just don't know about them?

    That is a rather interesting proposal considering this is also your post;

    You really have no idea what a conspiracy theory is which if you think about it makes you pretty susceptible to them.

    So you are trying to tell me you no longer believe Boeing is out to bankrupt the U.S. government so that they can become the only power that matters in this country and that they now care about abor, this country, or America in general?

    OK, then you are no longer a conspiracy theorists, just a liar.

    Republicans are out to bankrupt the government. Boeing is just funding their efforts along with many other corporations. They don't care about America, they care about money. They have but one God and it is the almighty buck.

    Just one question. If companies are out to bankrupt the country and do not care about about its people, after they succeed, where are they going to get their money from? I realize you might not be able to see the logical end to you conspiracy theory, but all company execs can easily see your theory is self defeating and will and can not follow it.

    I am not sure I buy the high ground argument. Nor Hillary's 'no need to spike the ball' argument. It doesn't hold up for me when there has been plenty of end zone celebration already. It's not like we released a memo saying he was dead. It has been an event and a celebration.

    I still think it is because it is a bloody, ugly photo of what is behind all this celebration and basking in the glow of the mission being accomplished. Might kill (oops) the feel goodness of it all and the glow around the administration to see the reality behind the curtain.

    But, yeah, it is not how they operate. They will keep hidden anything they want to and, in the long run, it really doesn't matter. But, I am still in favor of releasing.

    1. This indicates that since 911, people don't believe government anymore. They scrunitize everything government announced.

    2. This seems to be another forgery case. When that test photo was found to be a fake one, they dare not to push out any more. Fear for more flaw revelation.

    Obama visits ground zero; honors 9/11 victims - CNN.com

    Obama's visit to ground zero -- the former site of the World Trade Center -- sought to "help New Yorkers and Americans everywhere achieve a sense of closure with the death of Osama bin Laden," according to White House press secretary Jay Carney.

    He was accompanied by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Port Authority Chairman David Samson.



    Just saying...

    I heard the reason for not releasing the photo "it's a no-brainer".

    Jay Carney WH press seceratary. Answering absurb question from State controlled media:

    Question: Are you concerned about the way in which Bin Laden was killed and buried at sea might hurt the president's ability to reach out to the Muslim world as he has tried to over the last two years?"

    Answer: The ... efforts that were made to give ... Osama Bin Laden ... an appropriate burial ... following Islamic ... precepts and traditions ... were considerable. (long pause) However, I would also say that ... uh ... there is nothing, um... The -- the respect that was shown to him ... and his body ... uh ... was far greater than the respect that Osama Bin Laden showed to ... the victims on 9/11 ... or any of his other victims. ... Uh, and that's because that's who we are. ... uh... So we feel very comfortable with the fact that we, uhh ... took ... uh ... extraordinary measures to -- to show that respect ... uh ... to the traditions of the Islamic faith.

    Whenever it comes down to deciding between American or Muslim sensitivities, Obama always seems to side with the Muslim sensitivities.

    Yep this is why he orderd a strike into a Muslim country (Not for the 1st time) and killed a rather prominent muslim (With close ties to the House of saud) because he didnt want to offend muslims Um there must be logic in there somewere LOL

    Holy s! lol Yeah I guess! Surprised the FBI hasn't already kicked my door in! 10:43 p.m. is all I can say. Yeah, I meant "Bin Laden". The rest I'll stick to.
    I don't feel like I owe it to anybody to believe everything they teach in school. Bottom line is, I refuse to believe the technology exists to send men to the moon and bring them back today in 2011. Don't need to expand any further or drag the thread off topic.
