White House Press Secretary: Bin Laden’s Picture is “Gruesome”

The White House is considering whether to release photos that were taken of Osama bin Laden after he was killed but was concerned that the photos were “gruesome” and could be inflammatory.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the White House is mulling whether to make the photo public, but he said officials are concerned about the “sensitivity” of doing so. Carney said there is a discussion internally about the most appropriate way to handle but “there is not some roiling debate here about this.”

Asked if President Barack Obama is involved in the photo discussion, Carney said the president is involved in every aspect of this issue.
