Is Reuters Sending A Message To Obama By Releasing a Death Scene Photo?
I think so:
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Photographs acquired by Reuters and taken about an hour after the U.S. assault on Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan show three dead men lying in pools of blood, but no weapons.
The photos, taken by a Pakistani security official who entered the compound after the early morning raid on Monday, show two men dressed in traditional Pakistani garb and one in a t-shirt, with blood streaming from their ears, noses and mouths.
The official, who wished to remain anonymous, sold the pictures to Reuters.
None of the men looked like bin Laden. President Barack Obama decided not to release photos of his body because it could have incited violence and used as an al Qaeda propaganda tool, the White House said on Wednesday.
Based on the time-stamps on the pictures, the earliest one was dated May 2, 2:30 a.m., approximately an hour after the completion of the raid in which bin Laden was killed.
You know it's getting bad when even Reuters is sick of Obama's shit.
UPDATE FOR CLARIFICATION'S SAKE: The title of this post is not meant to insinuate I do not believe Osama Bin Laden is dead.Instead, it is meant to insinuate that I think Reuters may have released this photograph of one of Bin Laden's guards?/sons? in order to tell Obama, "Hey, we have the photographs. They are going to get released one way or the other. Do you want to put them out there, or should we leak them?"
Get it?
I do not buy into this Bin Laden Trutherism. I don't know how to spell it out any more clearly than that.
Sheesh.
