A federal appeals court heard arguments in a lawsuit over whether the government must release the images under the Freedom of Information Act, a 1966 law that guarantees public access to some government records.

My Comment: I guess I will have to wait 50 - 100 years before these pictures and the autopsy report are finally released. Too bad .... if there is a corpse that I would like to see it is Bin Laden's.

O, ok... So the past months, year actually, there hasn't been an increase in violence regardless?
*Rolls eyes*
In any case, I actually don't see why they should release the photo. He's dead. Leave it at that.
Their reasoning for it however, is flawed.
