First things first, this is the 主播大秀 Livepage if you want to follow the latest updates on the story. And in no particular order these questions are the most discussed at the moment:
1) Should a photo of Bin Laden's body be released however graphic it is?
2) Should America and other countries continue to give aid to Pakistan?
3) Should America continue to work with Pakistan in countering Islamist extremism (clearly Leon Panetta didn't like the idea when it came to this operation)?
4) Is Pakistan right to call this a worldwide intelligence failure, rather than a failure of the ISI?
We'll talk all of through on the radio later. But you can get posting here on the blog now.
@主播大秀_WHYS those wanting proof are just blood thirsty themselves. those doubting are sympathetic to obl..let's defeat terror people

Lane in the US: I am a US citizen and the government is supposed to work for me. I want to see the photo(s), they should show them to me, without questioning my reasons. It should be that simple.

Bush in the US posts on the Daily Mail website: It's simple. You don't release the photos - he's not dead. Nobody's going to believe he's been killed if you don't provide the evidence. We can handle the photos - you don't need to "protect" us from possible retaliation.

Jenny posts: I think the issue is that a body was quickly disposed of at sea together with photos not being released. This was exactly what someone who had something to hide would do. I don't think releasing photos now would help.

@主播大秀_WHYS : If OBL weren't dead wouldn't he try and get a message out to the world. My point: That might mean blowing his cover.

Lisa in Las Vegas: Releasing the photograph of a dead Osama bin Laden to provide a sense of closure to the people of the US is absurd. I am a citizen, born in the US, and I do not see this as providing closure, any more than pictures of Elvis in his coffin provided closure to his fans.

I think that 'officially' the images should not be released but if they were 'leaked' it would put alot of minds at rest!
