Osama Bin Laden Death Photo: Hoax or Proof?
Are the images proof of bin Laden's death, or a poor attempt at photo editing to support a yet another bin Laden death hoax? Claims of the terrorist's death have been made since bin Laden orchestrated the September 11, 2001 attacks on United States soil.
Proof of Death Required
The historic claim that Osama bin Laden is indeed dead needs to be substantiated with several forms of proof. DNA testing with100 percent matching results, multiple unaltered photographic images taken by a United States military official and public documentation from a certified coroner is a start.
President Obama approved of a sea burial for bin Laden. This follows the Islamic custom of a speedy burial.
The visual evidence of bin Laden's death collected by the United States military is -- and will be -- the only existing evidence if bin Laden was indeed buried at sea.
More Photos Needed
Osama bin Laden was killed from a gun shot to the head, according to a May 2 CBS news report. If bin Laden was shot in the head, the photographic images on the internet appear to be a hoax. The variety of images show a battered and bruised bin Laden, sans facial gunshot entrance or exit wounds.
With over 10 years of professional news and portrait photography experience -- including the use of photo editing software -- the images look digitally altered and fake, in my opinion. If the proof photos were shot digitally, I want United States military officials to produce, raw unedited photos complete with image EXIF data.
Since approximately two dozen Navy SEAL team members and a military counter-terrorism unit were present during the killing, I'm sure several poses from a variety cameras documented the events of May 1, 2011. I'd like to see statistical data collected and compared from these sources. Until then, the Osama bin Laden death photo will remain a mystery.
