My brain requires proof before I swallow shit.
I'm not saying anyone is in on it. I just require proof. It's by no means unreasonable
Some people require a body for closure.
The quasi-known whereabouts about him over the last 10 years, the amount of information that was known by officials of the secret intelligence, the compound's closeness to Pakistani military and the like are the glitches that do not follow logic into what actually happened. These claims could be answered by the government, why don't they do it to clear it up? Why are they apprehensive in releasing factual proof of information, like showing the body's pictures, for example?
exactly. i gotta say, i find it disturbing that so many people are clamouring to see a photo of a guy who was shot in the head.
I wonder if the people wanting photographic proof of bin Laden's death knew him well enough to actually know whether that body in the photo is him or not. People look different when they are dead -- even ones who die peacefully. So, really, how does seeing a photo of a badly damaged body of someone you've never met convince you it's really him?
I want you to think about this comparison a little more... or a lot more, whatever it takes.One more thought: Before what we know as World Music appeared, a band in Germany did a series of recordings called "Ethnic Forgeries." That was simiilar to the U2/Passengers project.
They created an album of a tribe or group that may or may not exisist. And people bought it.
I would have thought writing songs for fake movies is a little different to one of the biggest countries in the world "faking" Osama's death.
But maybe that's just me.
let me ask you peeps a question
Do you think, if Bush was still president, he would have released the pics?
I want you to think about this comparison a little more... or a lot more, whatever it takes.
but I have no doubt that he would have called a special meeting with representatives of the victims of 9/11 and, behind closed doors, he may have either shown the pictures or offered some other kind of tangible proof that the murderer of their loved ones is dead.
So, yes....I believe he would.
My point is that powerful people can, but do not always do, manufacture scenarios that an unassuming public can buy hook line and sinker.
In this case I think its legit.
We are so distant from Middle Asia or Midldle East that we can't really comment on it. Because we are the mercy of the press for our info, let alone cataclismic cultural differences, language barriers and misunderstandings.
I can see that you are frustrated by my 'trumping'* this converstaion BVS. But when BO released the birth cert everyone shut up. Why can't he do the same with the pics?
*trumping is the persitent and annoying demand for evidence from Barack Obama
Photoshop, as this thread has proven, is the ultimate mechanisim of skewing reality.
I would probably believe a photo but admit it could be easily doctored.
