A thought crossed my mind when I heard that he had declined. No doubt at all that the Bush family know exactly what went down. They've seen the mess the White House are making of this. They may also see with that inside information the deeper hole that the Obama administration could dig themselves into and George Jr maybe thought to himself, you know what, thanks but no thanks, you work away big guy.
I have very little regard for Messers Cheney and Rumsfeld but I'll give them this. If this yarn is bs and they had been the people who were making up the script, appearing in front of the press to tell the story they would have done a hell of a lot better. I've no doubt that when this all settles down a bit that you will see a few publicly visible positions re filled.

Anybody notice how the media is blurring the lines between the Taliban, Bin Laden sympathizers/ extremists...and "conspiracy theorists"? They're basically trying to create the feeling that anybody who doesn't believe the U.S. government's story, is on the side of the Islamic extremists...

That sounds just like the talking points being used by our government. Again, doesn't that mean the extremists win? When our decisions are made based on what will, or won't piss them off because we're afraid of them?

If this was a state sanctioned execution/assassination by a US President on foreign soil in a sovereign country they have certainly moved into a dangerous territory regarding the international Law & treaties.
If this was a state sanctioned execution/assassination by a US President on foreign soil in a sovereign country then Julien Assange and people like him had better start watching backs. Hell, anyone who Caesar deems an enemy of the state is fair game.

Nope...You are asking the wrong question....Why not to release pics and video...the question is Why? To what end?
Becuase there is a measure of indecency involved...it has to do with US...not them. We don't parade bodies. If your answer is that it will quell the conspiracy theorists...we all know that is not true.
