Default There's no way that they would have killed bin Laden!

Not a snowballs chance. I'm with Platapus on this one.

They took lots of time to plan this. His execution was staged with a prepared - non lethal weapon. The only witness, his wife, was freshly kneecapped so she wouldn't have been paying too much attention to the details.

They've hauled his ass off with all the hard-drives and documents and he's presently the CIA's guest for the remainder of his life, however long or short it may be.

I just can't believe that they would pass up the opportunity to dissect his mind, especially since they have all the time in the world to do it, and a moral claim to do so.

No, I think bin Laden will need diapers and a dribble cup before the authorities are through with him.

As to the photos of his body, there is no possible way to determine if a digital image has been altered, so they would prove nothing either way.

There's quite a few ways to determine that, actually.

Correct.
Either way though, no 'real' fotos will be released.
So we have to take their word for it.

Possibly too off-topic (in which case PM me), but I'd be really interested in any links/info on how that is done.

Lengthy, but should explain it.

The use of superior ergonomic technology in the operation rooms allows Him to handle the operation all alone.

Said technology also allows him to watch the action from multiple angles simulatenously.

Something tells me I won't have to study Dowly's link to determine if Skybird's Obama photos have been digitally altered.

I don't need to see photos. Really, if I was OBL I would get the old camcorder out and video myself laughing and pointing at the US for such a story that was whipped up. Silence of new video similiar to what we have seen since 9/11 is proof enough for me.

Anyone who would be offended by an OBL death image I'm not at all concerned about. Bringing whack jobs out of the woodwork to be killed is in fact a good thing.
