[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 962334, member: 52972"] Hugh, No my post was not directed to you since we seem to be in agreement. It was a general statement to those who seem to feel cheated because because bin Laden was killed while Obama was President, and now will not release the photos. Some of this also comes from the media who are concerned that bin Laden was unarmed (but fail to mention that it was reported that he had a pistol and an AK47 near his bed). If he made any false move that did not look like he was surrendering, I would have shot him too. It was also reported that one of his wives that was shot in the leg attempted to jump in from of him to shield him....that also may have blocked the SEAL's view of bin Laden, and he might have pulled out a weapon or grenade?? The SEAL's are trained in Millitary tactics not police tactics. Police have many restrictions on the use of Deadly Force. That's why you never see "Wanted, Dead or Alive" police warrants anymore. Thankfully, the Military does not have such restrictions on those kinds of missions... Bush said bin Laden was wanted "Dead or Alive" and proved that with all the missle strikes and bombs they dropped on suspected bin Laden hideouts, but was never lucky enought to get him. I was only speaking to you in general terms about the Daniel Pearl video, and why that was handled differently from bin Laden's photos. Pearls execution video was sent to the media and they published it, or at least in part. Bin Laden's photos were the exclusive property of the Governement, and they chose not to release the photo. We all know that photos of some of the dead terrorists and Saddam's son's were released by the Bush administration and that was his call. Obama does not want to do that, and as the President, he has that authority. I don't think we disagree on those points?? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
