The conservative legal group Judicial Watch uncovered an email that puts serious doubt on the U.S. government's claim that Osama Bin Laden was actually killed. The email which was sent by Adm.William McRaven ordered all pictures of the corpse to be destroyed or turned in to the C.I.A for black out, 11 days after the "killing" of Osama Bin Laden. The order was sent 10 days after the A.P. requested all information and pictures through the Freedom of Information Act.
Adm. McRaven who heads the U.S. Special Operations Command was investigated by the Pentagon Inspector General, who wrote the details of the email in a draft of their report but left it out of the final report.
Instead of fake pictures being leaked(which failed), they simply got a fall guy and claimed the non-release of photos was to respect Islam and prevent more violence. Looks more and more like this was a cover up of a botched raid, considering the downed helicopter and lack of video or photo evidence of the killing or body of Osama.
It seems the pressure to keep our leadership and government image in check outweighs the truth once again.
