Reuters publishes grisly pictures of raid
Reuters has released a series of photos it says were taken in the aftermath of the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound. Among them are gruesome images of three dead men, though not of bin Laden. The news agency says it bought them from a Pakistani security official who entered after US forces left with bin Laden’s body. “Reuters is confident of the authenticity of the purchased images because details in the photos appear to show a wrecked helicopter from the assault, matching details from photos taken independently on Monday,” the agency writes.
The development comes after President Obama decided not to release an image of bin Laden’s corpse. In a statement to the Huffington Post, Reuters defends its decision: “As this is a story of global importance, Reuters chose to share these photographs with its media clients and allow them to make editorial decisions on how they were used.”

Looks like all were shot at close range in the head.
In one of the photos, it’s odd that what seems like a green toy gun is behind a man’s shoulder.
This thing is taking on a mind of it’s own. I almost think the President has to come out and give the definitive story as to what happened. Step by step. Others are botching it.
Do we get to see the autopsy photos too?
Oh my those are really graphic.
