After viewing photos of a dead Osama bin Laden, U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky said there's "no question" in her mind that they should not be released to the general public because of their graphic nature.

"These are pictures of a violent crime scene. This is a dead person. A dead Osama bin Laden," she said.

Pointing to Taliban suicide bombers retaliating in Pakistan Friday, killing 80, Schakowsky noted, "you know that there's no good that can come out of circulating those photos."

Calling them crime scene photos implies that a crime was committed. By whom, the SEALs?

When the SWAT has to drop the perp in a hostage case, the site is still a crime scene, even if the extinction of the perp wasn't the crime.

That being said, **** her and the donk she rode in on. :bigbird:

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

In the hostage case, the crime of kidnapping or unlawful restraint was committed . I don't see how taking out a terrorist would be considered a crime.
