Jay Carney, White House press secretary told reporters on May 4th, “it is not in our national security interest . . . to allow these images to become icons to rally opinion against the United States,”
The unknown bloody faces of the men who collaborated with Osama are O.K. to be published however, I must add, if a child happens to see these pictures a parent wouldn’t be able to explain who and why that man was shot. Even though Bin Laden’s face (the most wanted man by several U.S. and international intelligence agencies) was not allowed to be public.
If the command was to find OBL dead or alive, and the U.S. knew how much commotion his published dead face would cause, don’t you think it would be worse they showed him alive in a U.S. prison? Wouldn't that bring even worse attacks on our shores? Therefore, the plan has been vague since the beginning.
The bloodshed of carcasses represents the death of OBL. Why can’t we see a picture of the man who loved nothing better than murdering bystanders?
Pentagon briefer announced on May 4th, “I’m not going to provide those operational details,” also communicating, “If the point of this discussion is to try to go into operational details of this mission,” he said, “It’s going to be a very short discussion.” Without falling into details, the photograph is the piece of the puzzle that will stop second-guesses, questions, and concerns from the global community.
Under his twitter account, Anderson Cooper, CNN Journalist says, “New info on the super secret, hi tech helicopters used in the OBL –Osama Bin Laden –raid. Really cool technology." Ironic how those operational details cannot be provided because it causes a boost in national security but in addition, the team who killed Bin Laden leaves one of the most sophisticated helicopters behind at the risk of falling in the hands of enemies.”
U.N. DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
In reference to Article 19 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations, “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and idea through any media and regardless of frontiers.” In accretion, these rights in a certain way are violated by providing us with decrepit pictures and giving away our most valued technology.
These pictures show the disastrous encounter at the compound, separately from the high-tech helicopter left behind, a new source (Reuters, 2011) publishes overwhelmingly graphic photos of the raid executed by NAVY Seals. Reuters’ photographs that our U.S. officials would also specify as unbearable to the public, will reach every corner of the world. From the most conservatives to the most extremists.
The photographs capture terror and depict horror; acknowledging the fact the entire world has asked for the photos of Bin Laden, it is an insult for the U.S. Government and intelligence agencies to allow for these photos to be publicized over the mass media. A new dilemma arises, “If these photos made news, so can Osama’s.”
According to CNN -Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-California, also said Obama made the wrong choice about the photos.
"I want to see them, personally," he said. "I did three tours. I'm not talking as a member of the Armed Services Committee -- (but) as a Marine who did three tours because of 9/11. As Americans we deserve to see them."
It is time to raise our voices and demand clarity and credibility on what so far has been one of the most vague stories in U.S. history; allowing Pakistan to join the drive of misinforming about the most notorious terrorist of the world, propelling Obama’s points on the 2012 presidential elections, and among maintaining extremists outrage.
