Osama bin Laden is dead - no graphic/violent images.

Well after seeing a man with his bottom jaw completely blown off by a sniper in Syria the other day (and he was still alive..in his final death throes

), i have no desire to see another dead body for a long time...

trigger-happy · 2 May 2011 at 14:09

dunno if it was worth it.

buchtis · 2 May 2011 at 14:10

Anyone got any reliable pictures, and not badly photoshopped ones?

No I really didn't but extracting info from him would go some way in helping the cause.

As I said that's how it came across, also they may well of tried to capture him alive.

Amnesia said:
not meant to be ? like i said not much different than allowing it to happen.
handing him over to a whole load of people who hated him to carry out punishment on him (in public), You and they must the only ones who honestly believed that nobody would get their mobile out and film it then.

are you saying. You can't see the difference between a sanctioned and government endorsed tv showing and a guard using his personal phone to video and leak it to the media?
Of course there's a huge difference. Did I or them say they didn't. Think or expected that? There's rules for employees in any job and I'm sure they would have had some screening and security.

I think the multiple choppers and gunfire coming in gave it away. You think a guy who has dedicated his life to fighting a Holy War cares about death? He wanted it and would have been mentally prepared to end his life.

But he didn't end his life did he ?

White House officials said there was a gunbattle in which bin Laden "did resist the assault force" before being killed.

Doesn't sound like some suicidal hard case...

How can you say that, how can you not see the difference, I really don't know how to respond.

So a random individual phone tapping, is the same as state sponsored phone tapping is it? Of course it's not. They are clearly not the same.

Turns out the Bin Laden 'shop is of a dead man from 2006 with Osama's lower face laid over.

I'd post the 3 pictures proving so, but it appears I would get a holiday.

trigger-happy · 2 May 2011 at 14:18

I bet he is not dead, probably the American actor got fed up and decided to go Hollywood.

As for burial at sea, may not be usual but is allowed. it seems you can be buried at sea if the body is likely to be resumed by enemies.

The people that buried/dumped him were the enemy

Sky news reporting that DNA testing was done, i'm still of the opinion... pics or it didn't happen.

Well yes, but still stops them digging it up. It's not going to be perfect as the enemy killed him and claimed his body. But at least they seemed to of at least taken religion into consideration.

Quite easily.....They allow the hanging of saddam to be filmed, They allowed the capture of saddam to be filmed even with a guard hitting him with the butt of his rifle and causing his mouth to bleed.
But osama ......errr lets not be disrespectful to osama, even though we showed photos of Saddams sons shot up face we best not even show osamas burial.

NathWraith · 2 May 2011 at 14:22

Am I going to have to start handing out bibs and sippy cups for those children that still cannot follow the rules?

STOP POSTING THAT PICTURE IT IS NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY ANY FURTHER POSTS WILL RESULT IN A BAN

Glaucus · 2 May 2011 at 14:22

They did not allow the hanging to be filmed. How can you not see that.

As for photos they probably will be released they usually are, that is very different to filming. Which hasn't been released in similar situations.

LeJosh · 2 May 2011 at 14:23

So who's betting a retaliation attack will happen in a week or two?

Nuclear warfare \o/

kibblerok · 2 May 2011 at 14:23

Oooh now Sky News saying pics on the way

Clipsey · 2 May 2011 at 14:24
