Fitton: McRaven ordered bin Laden pics purged

by Jonn Lilyea••8

Bomb thrower, Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch has a FOIA of emails that were whizzing around the White House and the Pentagon after bin Laden was killed and he found one from Adm. William McRaven sent 11 days after the operation directing his subordinates to delete any photos of bin Laden from their computers, according to NBC;

Previously, the Associated Press had requested access to photos and other documents “sent from and to the U.S. government account or accounts” of McRaven referencing bin Laden who was then vice admiral.

Government agencies are required to preserve material sought under the Freedom of Information Act, even if they later refuse to release the documents.

Special Operations Command’s Freedom of Information Office told the AP it could not find any McRaven emails “responsive to your request.”

Now, I don’t need to see the picture and I think that the government doesn’t have any reason to release the photo, that the media doesn’t need to see it, mostly because the grotesque thing will be all over my Facebook feed, and I just don’t need to see anymore dead people. But those are my personal feelings about it.

The government still has to abide by the laws and this isn’t really the most open government in history like we were promised. And, I’m thinking that McRaven is about to take the fall for this.

  2. Like # 1 Devtun above …

    This is a BS story.

    If I was him I would have done the same thing.

    He is a high thinker and ten steps ahead the rest!

    There were probably way too many selfees with OBL floating around out there. In addition, the NSW community was in the middle of cleaning up their act so to speak in regards to OPSEC.

    I have worked with NSW and the commnunity is as high speed as they come. If this is the best they can do … better dig deeper! Won’t fuind anything!

  4. Awkward sentence structure alert: “Previously, the Associated Press had requested access to photos and other documents “sent from and to the U.S. government account or accounts” of McRaven referencing bin Laden who was then vice admiral.”

    Bin Laden was a Vice Admiral? I thought that as of 5/2/11 he was just “Fish Food?” 😀
