Blog Entry #28

      TMZ said "President Obama WILL NOT Release Death Photo" President Barack Obama has now decided he will NOT release the ultra-gory photos of Osama bin Laden's bloody, bullet-ridden face to the public. The news comes in the wake of reports that Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Hillary Clinton had advised Obama about concerns that releasing a photograph could prompt a backlash against the U.S. Obama told "60 Minutes" ... "The risks of release outweigh the benefits" ... adding, "Conspiracy theorists around the world will just claim the photos are doctored anyway, and there is a real risk that releasing the photos will only serve to inflame public opinion in the Middle East." Obama continued, "Imagine how the American people would react if al-Qaida killed one of our troops or military leaders, and put photos of the body on the internet." "Osama bin Laden is not a trophy -- he is dead and let's now focus on continuing the fight until al-Qaida has been eliminated."
        President Obama said that he will not release the death photo of Osama. That shows that President Obama cares about what other people think and respect them. I thought he was going to just release the pictures to show people that Osama is really dead. This blog entry is similar to blog entry #26 because it talks about Osama.
        I agree on the President Obama decision. I think it's good for him to not release the pictures. People from the Middle East wouldn't like that and they probably will attack America for doing that. I think that one of the military probably have a photo of their own of Osama. I think that one of the military will show people or maybe not.
