Deathers are Demanding the Long-Form Corpse
The White House has released some new details about Bin Laden’s death. He was reportedly unarmed when SEALs raided the compound and shot and killed him. Initial reports that he used his wife as a human shield are untrue. On the decision to kill Bin Laden instead of take him alive - White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, “There was concern that bin Laden would oppose the capture operation and indeed he resisted.” After the body was thoroughly identified – it was taken out to the North Arabian Sea – placed in a white sheet and weighted bag – and slid into the waters as religious remarks were read.
CIA Director Leon Panetta announced yesterday that it's likely that the photos of Bin Laden – which have been described as “gruesome” - will be released for the public to see, although there's a debate in the White House being led by Hillary Clinton that release of the photos is unnecessary and could further inflame religious extremists in the Middle East.
And, she notes, the deathers will likely be unsatisfied with pictures anyway – they’re demanding the long-form corpse.
