Obama's war cabinet had been debating whether to publish gruesome post-mortem photos of the al-Qaeda terror chief, who was gunned down by US special forces in a covert raid inside Pakistan on Sunday.
Obama told the CBS show 60 Minutes yesterday, saying, "It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence, as a propaganda tool."
Arguing that DNA and facial recognition testing had established beyond doubt that the mastermind of the Sept 11, 2001 attacks was dead, Obama said, "That's not who we are. You know, we don't trot out this stuff as trophies."
