frownonfun, the problem these days is that you can P'shop anything you want. Publish a pic, and half of the world will think it's a Pshop - don't publish and the other half of the world won't believe he's dead - lose/lose....

I agree- Obama's decision is the right one....in the best interest of his administration.

HOWEVER:
It is also quite reasonable for people to continue to think it more than a little strange that KEY EVIDENCE (ie. Osama Bin Laden's body) was dumped within 10-hours after the firefight, BEFORE DNA tests were completed, and WITHOUT allowing a single credible, disinterested outside party (perahaps a forensics expert or two from a foreign government?) to examine it so as to confirm the kill as authentic or at the very least to collect biometric data (ie. DNA) for analysis at a later time.

I'm no follower of conspiracy theories.
But it does irritate me that people are so bloody eager ('bloody' is the key word) as to eat up this latest production of 'news', replete with weapons & technology fetishizing, without taking anything at all with a grain of salt, and furthermore dismissing those that raise any doubts/questions as being on-level with Birthers and Tea Partyers.

Is Bin Laden really dead? Alive? Free? Under interrogation?
It is agreed that these types of questions are as productive as a serious discussion on who would really win: Batman or Superman?

After much deliberation on Kryptonite and the full-spectrum capabilities of the Batmobile, it is hoped that most people would come to their senses and understand that in the end, both Batman and Superman are fictions produced by one entity- DC Comics- which doesn't care a whit what you or I believe to be true or false, just so long as we keep coming back for more, while continuing to utterly ignore our homework.
