A former seal that was there when his body was shot, states that after he was shot a few times, everyone took a turn shooting more rounds into his dead body. When it was all done more than a hundred rounds were emptied into his body. His body was so mangled that they did not feel the American People need to see such an image. It also states that during war it is legal to shot some extra shots to make sure its a kill, yet what they did to Bin Laden was maybe against the law. So the photos not being posted were not just for censorship, they were also part of a secret agenda. The government did not want an investigation into the matter, due to some people maybe being arrested. This ties into almost all the topics we have been talking about thus far in class. 1st they decide to not post the picture to censor the war, and the government also had other motives for not releasing the photos. Years later that the dust has settled the truth is coming out. I kind of understand why these pictures were not posted, at the time he was the most hated man in America, it would of caused an unwanted conflict between Americans at a time where the government wanted a sense of closure. Even though he did murder many innocent people, was it warranted that soldiers shot him more than he needed to be out of joy or aggression. This all ties back to the issues with war. Although we have a set of rules when we are in war, at the end of the day war is about winning and justice. With that in mind sometimes peoples morals are lost.
