Re: Bin Laden's Pictures to be released.

on a serious note though i cant believe they are even considering this, the consequences for relations with the muslim world will take a hell of a battering if they do

I thought that many from the Muslim world have vocally expressed their dislike of Osama (the negative associations he brings) in recent years, with the few remaining who support him being in the minority?

oh i agree caley, i,ve just answered this question on another forum so i,ll quote myself

no u have got me completely wrong... infact 90% of the muslim population do not regard him as a true muslim but he's still a muslim and i,m sure that if these pictures are actually released a lot of muslims will take an offence to the fact that the western world seem to be celebrating the death of a muslim in such a kinda gross way

i dont think this is a great move on behalf of the cia but this is just my 2 cents

I don't care if they release it or not. I still won't believe it. But I will believe this guy. This guy is from the CFR.

Dr. Steve Pieczenik is no joke. This guy is the most credible guy AJ has ever had on. This interview was so detailed that Alex during the interview wanted to make sure he wasn't suicidal so a DC Madam thing doesn't happen again. I will post his bio below.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Pieczenik

http://www.stevepieczenik.com/bio.htm

Dr. Steve Pieczenik is a critically acclaimed author of psycho-political thrillers and the co-creator of the New York Times best-selling "Tom Clancy's Op-Center" and "Tom Clancy's Net Force" book series. He is also one of the world's most experienced international crisis managers and hostage negotiators. His novels are based on his twenty years experience in resolving international crises for four U.S. administrations.

Dr. Pieczenik trained in Psychiatry at Harvard and has both an M.D. from Cornell University Medical College and a Ph.D. in International Relations from M.I.T. He was the first psychiatrist ever to receive a PhD. focusing on international relations. He served as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and/or Senior Policy Planner under Secretaries Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Schultz and James Baker.

During his career as a senior State Department official, Dr. Pieczenik utilized his unique abilities and expertise to develop strategies and tactics that were instrumental in resolving major conflicts in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and the United States.

Dr. Pieczenik was the principal International Crisis Manager and Hostage Negotiator under Secretaries Kissinger and Vance. During this time he developed conflict resolution techniques that were instrumental in saving over five hundred hostages in different terrorist episodes, including the Hanafi Moslem Seizure in Washington, DC, the TWA Croatian Hijacking, the Aldo Moro Kidnapping, the JRA Hijacking, the PLO Hijacking, and many other incidents involving terrorists such as Idi Amin, Muammar Quaddafi, Carlos, FARC, Abu Nidal and Saddam Hussein.

Dr. Pieczenik helped develop negotiation strategies for major U.S.- Soviet arms control summits under the Reagan administration. He was also involved in advising senior officials on important psycho-political dynamics and conflict mediation strategies for President Carter's successful Camp David Peace Conference. In 1991, Dr. Pieczenik was a chief architect of the Cambodian Peace Conference in Paris. He is currently an advisor to the Department of Defense.

Interesting. You'd think then of the 90% who do not like him, and in this particular situation, they logically would take religion and offense out of the equation for a hot second and consider the reasons why the CIA would release it. It's unfortunate that they even have to consider releasing the photograph as proof, but hey that's just my opinion.

for me this is all about numbers caley... terrorist groups in that area already have a huge number of members in the organisation but i think personally that if some people take offence to it then they may be swayed towards hate, then they will just use the pics to groom new people into radicalism, u know i might be completely wrong in my thoughts but this is just my 2 cents

Re: Bin Laden's Pictures to be released.

CIA Director Leon Panetta said Tuesday he thinks a photograph of Osama bin Laden's body will be released

Says he thinks they will be released.
