The only people who are going to be upset at seeing Osama shot are people who support Osama anyway. Most people won't even want to see it (if it really is gory I'm not sure I want to), most of those who do see it are going to be repulsed if it's as gory as they are claiming, and a few (sociopaths) are going to like it.

They have the pics and we will probably eventually see them in 10 or 20 years. Shit, I wouldn't be surprised if they still have the body but that prob won't come out.

If you can accept they're lying about throwing him away (keeping his dead body seems the least likely of all scenarios to me) then you should accept they might be lying about other things.

I know it doesn't feel as satisfying to not see the proof, but if this guy was still alive he would make another video and prove it.

Why would they bother to make a video to prove he's still alive? Surely it's reasonable for them to
claim to have a video showing he's still alive, and when asked to show the video, come up with some spurious reason not to. (Like it might offend Americans.)
