The jets crashing into the towers I highly doubt contained images of peoples faces behind brutalized in blood, guts, brains, etc. How do we know what he looks like right now? If your not going to see it on an R-Rated movie, your probably not going to see it on the 5-o'clock news. Don't you think? So what do you want them to do about his face if in fact it is to brutal to show? Do you want them to fix it up like he's going to an open-casket? Because then people will cry fake, prosthetic, makeup, etc!
Don't forget, Saddam was recorded by a 3rd party source & leaked. BIG DIFFERENCE. Let's also not forget, he wasn't Bin Laden... again, BIG DIFFERENCE. It's like saying Hitler & Laden were the same because they were bad men from other countries, just not true, don't even compare the two. Releasing a photo could also cause backlash on Obama's upcoming campaign. If the Taliban decides to retaliate for this killing of they're leader (which they probably are), they will DEFINITELY want to after we not only celebrated it, but then boasted & bragged by posting photos of the death. That alone, can cause an attack, which in turn could cause a lost election for Obama. Not smart. Many mature decisions have to be made, that are smart, when in office & trying to maintain that seat in office.
You can't just act on impulse because the public want's or demands proof. Seeing his body will make nothing different if he's dead. An it will change nothing for us to see it other then curiosity. It's like asking a magician to reveal the trick, once you see, who cares? So... WHO CARES?
