SEEING IS BELIEVING 

http://www.weareoca.com/photography/seeing-is-believing/

This article is all about Bin Laden's death and whether we need to see photographic evidence.  I remember quite clearly at the time that I felt I did want to see evidence .. I was really unbelieving of the whole affair.

But also I have always felt that who was Bin Laden anyway.  They all look the same in their dress and long beards.  ( not too PC I know but honest )I would have walked past him in the street I'm sure.

And that really is how I feel, I do want photographic evidence to prove his death.  But then even if we were to look at a photograph of a dead Bin Laden how for definite would we know it to be him.

Reading everyone else's comments I think we all feel the same.  One interesting comment was that forensic students were taught to use film cameras when taking photos for evidence so that the pictures could not be manipulated in photoshop, but I think even that now isn't the case, digital is used. But would make sense and be more convincing.

I would want some DNA !!!
