1. It would enrage the Muslim world and only motivate al-Qaeda to get revenge
2. The doubters and conspiracy theorists will believe what they want to believe proof or no proof. If they don't release the pics it's a government conspiracy. If they do release the pics then they must have photoshopped it or released fake pics to make it look like Osama is dead. It's like when Obama's birth certificate got released. People will doubt you no matter what you do
3. It is kind of sick to release photos of a guy with half his head blown off for the whole world to see, no matter who it is.
I just don't think showing the photos would be worth it just to prove people like Glenn Beck wrong, who has started coming up with his own conspiracy theories

He is taking the classier road because the whole idea of the photo existing is the only point he wanted to make. There is no photo, he just wanted to trick americans into thinking the pic actually existed. Reverse psychology proof. It's good enough for some people, the same people who elected Obama. They attacked us first, we got revenge by the "so called" death of Bin Laden. The pictures will prompt re-revenge? Without their leader, I doubt it.

You all got messed up. Our founding fathers of this country had built in the core ideas
of what?
Freedom of speech, right to assembly etc...
What about our right to see the real photo of Bin Laden's death?
If we don't have these rights then we probably in a socialist era.

Because it could provoke Al Qaeda and could be used as propaganda. While Americans want proof, national security is more important.
