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<\/a>;<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Government agencies are required to preserve material sought under the Freedom of Information Act, even if they later refuse to release the documents.<\/p>\n

Special Operations Command’s Freedom of Information Office told the AP it could not find any McRaven emails “responsive to your request.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
