Hiding to Nothing

The Gorse Fox has been following some of the commentary from the media and from twitter regarding the death of Osama Bin Laden, and hates to return to this grizzly subject. However, a few points are worth making:

• There is no sense in releasing the “pictures”. Conspiracy theorists will claim they were photo-shopped.
• Burial at sea may seem strange (and conspiracy theorists will again claim a cover-up), but it does preclude some location from becoming a place of morbid pilgrimage
• DNA tests will again be dismissed by conspiracy theorists

The sad and paranoid conspiracy theorists will never be satisfied – so don’t pander to them. The rest of us may have the odd doubt about some of the details, but essentially believe the outcome.

Now give it a rest!
