Pictures A National Security Risk?

As I sit here looking at this entire situation I see one common thread about these pictures. The President does not want these photos of the dead Bin Laden to be used as a propaganda tool. By withholding them the President himself is now doing the very thing he did not want to happen. He is now using these Photos as a propaganda tool.

At first Obama was not releasing these photos because they were too “graphic.” Go figure. The man was shot in the head.

I now hear President Obama feels that releasing the pictures of Bin Laden, after our operators shot him in the head, would be a National Security risk. Really? What the heck does he think its called actually sending our operators out on that kill or capture mission? And having a chopper mishap that results in the necessity of said choppers destruction? But, we did not manage to completely destroy that highly classified chopper. Somehow we managed to not completely destroy it. We left the tail section on scene and intact. The stealth technology used in that tail section would be considered a true National Security risk should it fall into the wrong hands. Such as China.

I almost forgot about slowing a carrier to a crawl to dump a dead body in the sea. I don’t suppose that was a security risk.

    I agree with your thoughts. I was thinking along those lines today. Had many people asking me about these pictures last night at work. Great read.
