From BBC,
President Barack Obama has said publishing photos of the dead Osama Bin Laden threatens US national security.
"I think that, given the graphic nature of these photos, it would create some national security risk," Mr Obama said.
How can a dead man’s picture/s equate to national security risks?
Is Mr. Obama afraid of an El Cid effect—a legend where the dead Spanish military and political leader was mounted on his horse to inspire his troops to win a battle? Or maybe that there has been no Osama bin Laden at all? Or that bin Laden has long been buried?
Update:UK's the Guardian has a deck of graphic pictures of the compound where bin Laden was supposedly killed. But no bin Laden and the other victims shown were apparently not buried at sea.
Enhanced interrogat¬ion can work, but is very unreliable because, as mm3264 stated, people will say whatever you want them to, to stop the torture. Many suspects have been tried and convicted on false confession¬s attained through enhanced interrogat¬ion from the police, and this is why they are no longer allowed to use these methods to obtain informatio¬n. Thank God it led to our troops finding Bin Laden, but I wouldn't trust the informatio¬n in most cases.
