Osama bin Laden was killed by American Navy SEAL forces on May 2nd, 2011. After being given a rapid burial at sea, a debate emerged surrounding whether the photos that had been taken of his dead body should be released to the public, mostly as proof of his death. After much deliberation and a substantial national and international debate on the topic, President Obama decided on May 5th to withhold the photos. Your thoughts?
 
Photos needed to convince non-radical Muslims Osama's dead. Many ordinary Muslims have indicated that they don't believe that Osama Bin Laden is dead. Revealing the photos could help convince them that he is dead. Photos would convince doubtful Americans Bin Laden dead. Many ordinary Americans, including some of the family members of the 9/11 victims, are doubtful that Osama Bin Laden is dead. These are not crazy people. If they are presented with photo evidence, they will come to accept that his in, in fact, dead.
 
Osama photos likely to provoke violence at US embassies. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates vocally worried that the images would provoke anti-American violence at embassies, consulates, and military bases overseas. This is because the Muslim world might look askance at a desecrated dead body, even if it was Osama bin Laden's.
 
I have and can use photo shop and very well at that. It is easy for me to tear anything apart that has been altered and be able to prove it.

No matter the sophistication of the software used there are certain fundamental properties of a photo or document that if altered can NOT be hidden in the alteration.
