Without photo proof, is bin Laden really dead?

The lack of visual evidence in the news media of a dead Osama bin Laden and his quick burial at sea by the United States military will only give credence to conspiracy theorists who will insist the former al Qaeda leader is not really dead. "The White House decision not to release the bin Laden death photos will only fuel conspiracy theorists. Trust is in very short supply these days, particularly trust in government and other institutions. And when the official story of an event like this is ambiguous, when there is uncertainty, people entertain a range of theories," said Temple psychologist Frank Farley.
