True, those who do not believe will not believe. Any picture will be deemed a fake so why bother trying to convince them.

In this situation it seems member of Al Qaeda are making the claim of Bin Laden death and will look to seek revenge. I'm sure authorities are on very high alert here in the US for some kind of attack

That's the good thing about conspiracies. When it gets debunked, you just regress to a more intricate theory that allows the conspiracy to live on.

Basically what you get is an infinite regression of theories so big and so tangled that the odds of it playing out successfully are less than the odds of winning the lottery 5 consecutive times.

And people believe em.

Michael Moore though is an idiot. I really can't figure out why people pay attention to him. He is a hack

...be surprised that Al Quaeda is now vowing to strike back?

They don't have a lot of other reasons to exist now other than to carry the banner of Bin Laden.

If they drop that flag there isn't alot of rallying cries left for them.

The morons worried about inciting violence never get it. With fanatics they will ALWAYS have an excuse to kill and maim. NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.

This is the truth. Besides, we just killed the leader of a group of demented lunatics.. nothing else we do could possibly make things worse right now.

If we were truly worried about a Muslim uprising or "backlash," we never would have killed bin Laden in the first place. That's the ultimate thing that would piss them off, let alone a mere photo of his corpse.

Well we definitely are concerned about some Muslim nations, such as Pakistan. Its pretty clear they were at the very least hiding him, and lying to us about it.. yet we still call them our "friends".
