Just because the picture of the dead bin Laden won't be released will another conspiracy theory evolve? Many will dispute the authenticity of the event even though his child, wife and other children may have witnessed the shooting. Photographs will not deter those who thrive on conspiracies or seek publicity from pursuing such. If I remember correctly G.Bush claimed bin Laden was of little concern to him just two years after 911 but I suspect that was to cover for his inability to catch him. It is beyond ironic that in eight years Bush could not find bin Laden and President Obama and his sources found him less than one year into his presidency and eliminated him on the very anniversary of Bush's 'mission accomplished' speech. In two years President Obama found and successfully achieved the death of the terrorist.
Despite the persistent media barrage of information and the public rejoicing of Osama's death I am not convinced that al Qaeda poses the threat it once did. Exaggerations by the Bush regime encouraged the world to view the Arab as an incredibly powerful terrorist worthy of worldwide fear and used him to justify two wars and the deaths of perhaps as many as hundreds of thousands. In retrospect who was the most powerful terrorist? Were not the people of Iraq, Afganistan and those who suffered rendition, Gitmo, torture and the secret prison system terrorized by Bush, his tactics and the anti-terror programs he approved and defended.
In no way can the horror of 911 and every other terror attack be forgiven or forgotten yet consideration must be given to the brutality committed by the US during the Bush regime.If serious consideration was given to my question who is the worst terrorist the only answer possible is the one who is responsible for the most deaths no matter the justifications.
