Bullet to the Head at Close Range: Osama Bin Laden Death Photos Might Be Unrecognizable

In November 1963, the United States government tried to sell to the American people that John F. Kennedy was killed from a considerable distance by a lone gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald. The results of that shooting gave us this image of President Kennedy's face being blown away on a parade route through Dallas.


I don't want to begin a debate here about JFK. I just want to use this as an example of what the United States government has sold to the people in the past as factual. Consider this picture when the White House releases images of Osama Bin Ladin's corpse later today. Remember the Navy Seal fired a shot from close range at Osama Bin Ladin's face. One would think Osama would be unrecognizable considering what we see from the Kennedy Assassination.

This creates a predicament for the Obama administration as some doubt is cast over Osama Bin Laden's death. Will the accounts of the Navy Seals provide questions based on the images the White House releases later today. Will the face be blown away as it probably should be considering military ammo was used? Will Obama regret jettisoning Osama's body off into the sea, rather than produce it as more formidable evidence? This is all shaping up to be very interesting for us critical thinkers who have doubts in the president's tale, as he is clearly using the death of Osama Bin Laden is a rhetorical tool for his reelction bid.
