Religion and politics aside, Osama wasn´t/isn´t a person who deserves to live after what he did (my opinion) and if he is really dead, i´m not going to go round hosting a street party but I can honestly say good riddance. As much as I apose the "eye for an eye" statement, I would be lying if I said that if I was personally effected by his actions or even some general criminal (i.e. someone shot my relative) I wouldn´t want justice served just as bitter.
For the US government to decide whether we should see the photos or not because they are "too graphic" shouldn´t be up to them. In my opinion it should be up to the public because after all it´s the public that has been affected so much by Osama´s actions. They want proof and, as someone stated before, closure. In some cases I´m sure that some of the people that were effected (losing a loved one) wouldn´t just want to see those pictures but wouldn´t refrain from wanting to be the person to inflict those injuries upon him in the first place.
I love the way they say it´s too gruesome/graphic yet if I remember correctly we saw the personal hanging of Saddam Hussein LIVE! and it might not be the same type of graphic but watching the 9/11 being shown on every news channel whilst the camera´s got a close up of people jumping out of windows to their own deaths is definitely a sight I would call graphic.
So much for the freedom of information Act...
