The Inevitable Release of Photos


Like a High School secret, the President is now inviting members of Congress to view the photos of OBL.  Now all the really cool kids will be privy to the secret and all the rest of the class will be left clamoring to be let in on it.
As my mom would say, “in for a for a penny, in for a pound.”  It now becomes inevitable the press will push harder and harder for release, those politicians who support release will continue to stir the pot, and those who’ve not seen the pictures will complain about their exclusion.
The only question now is when do President Obama’s advisors think they gain the biggest political bounce on the release.  The effect on the terrorist movement is probably not high on their list of considerations.
