The question remains: when? It is, of course imperative that the WH releases the photo, not just to quell the questions but to also give all of us some closure for 9/11. They cannot be that gruesome, we saw the photo's of Saddams sons, Uday and Qusay after their death in Iraq and no one threw up. The death of bin-Laden is an important milestone for the world and we should not be deprived of seeing the lifeless face of our greatest enemy.

White House WILL release gruesome Bin Laden corpse photo, says CIA boss as reluctant Obama faces claims terror chief is still alive
America will release photographs of Osama Bin Laden’s corpse, it was confirmed last night, as conspiracy theories that he was still alive gained ground.
President Barack Obama is reluctant to authorise the release of images of the terror leader’s body because it is bloodied and badly wounded, and a perceived lack of respect for the dead could spark a backlash.
But in the absence of any pictorial evidence that Bin Laden is dead, some have claimed that he was not killed at all.
On Monday an obviously faked picture of his corpse spread round the world, giving conspiracy theorists new material to fuel their speculation.
The U.S. has pictures of Bin Laden’s body – reportedly with a bullet hole above an eye, and another to the heart – and video of both the raid on his bolthole in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad and his burial at sea.
Last night CIA director Leon Panetta said that ‘ultimately’ a photograph of Bin Laden’s corpse will be released.
Speaking on NBC Nightly News, he said: ‘The government obviously has been talking about how best to do this, but I don’t think there was any question that ultimately a photograph would be presented to the public.
‘Obviously I’ve seen those photographs. We’ve analysed them and there’s no question that it’s Bin Laden.
‘I think there’s no question that there were concerns that had to be debated about the impact these photos would have.
‘But the bottom line is that we got Bin Laden and I think we have to reveal to the rest of the world the fact that we were able to get him and kill him.’
Earlier White House spokesman Jay Carney confirmed that the photo of Bin Laden’s corpse was ‘gruesome’ and that ‘it could be inflammatory’ if released.
Inflammatory to whom? Oh wait, I think I know. Could it be Islam? Is there a chance the WH is worried that Muslims might "backlash" against the release of the photos?
