Releasing Osama Pics

       So for part of my Mass Communications final, I had to write an essay on my thoughts about releasing the Osama pictures and video of the assault. The scenario is that I am basically the one that makes that decision for the president and I have to take the Potter steps of journalism to make the correct decision etc.

       In my opinion I think we should not release them. Why you ask? Because we have nothing else to prove and will be taking the big risk here. So we killed him, he's out of the picture, and now we want to stir the pot even more. I was reading an article earlier in the week and one of the concerns of releasing the pictures is that Osama will then become an icon and more of our enemies will obsess and idolized him in a "god like" fashion, and then go on a blood spree to avenge the profits death causing mayor havoc. Our nation is the best, well maybe no morally but we are the biggest and own the most advanced weaponry out of all the super powers. We are S.H.I.E.L.D (Marvel Comics reference) we control everything and have the biggest and most advanced toys, we have LASERS on our Navy ships for christ sake!..lol. But my point is we don't need more hatred aimed our way. We are already fighting a depression as well as a horde of Zombies! What I mean by that is that we are fighting mindless fools that will do anything, including taking there own lives just to prove a point. This is when all the cards are put on the table. This is when and hopefully not, these followers come into our country and recruit from within. This is when and I hope it never happens, when people start to see Osama as a man of his people, a man that risked it all for whatever it is he believed. This is when the masses in our country start to turn on the U.S and start to fight from within us with us! Now this is just a crazy theory that I have, please continue to love thy neighbor. Because I seriously don't think it will happen since everybody loves the way us U.S citizens live, we can practically do what ever we want as long as we don't cross certain boundaries. We live in the land of the FREE. But back to if I think they should release the pictures and videos, No I think they should remain under water in proper burial with the man that sunk our Towers. Out of sight, Out of mind.
