U.S. Senator James Inhofe will be the first member of Congress to take up the CIA's offer to view the postmortem photographs of Osama bin Laden at a Northern Virginia facility. Inhofe's visit is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. today. In the past week, the Oklahoma Republican has argued that the Obama administration should release the photos to the public to combat conspiracy theories regarding the death of bin Laden.
Here is the full release from Inhofe's office:
INHOFE FIRST MEMBER OF CONGRESS TO VIEW BIN LADEN PHOTOS
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), today became the first Member of Congress to view the death photos of Osama bin Laden recently made available by the CIA to members of the SASC and Intel Committee. During a secure briefing for members of the SASC and Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, May 4, 2011, Inhofe suggested to CIA Director Leon Panetta that the agency make the photos available to members of that briefing. The CIA decided to comply with that suggestion, and Inhofe became the first member to view the photos.
“It is an important responsibility as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee to view these photos and be able to validate his death to the people of the nation,” said Inhofe prior to viewing the photos. “By viewing these photos, I can help dispel conspiracy theorists who doubt that Bin Laden is in fact dead. That is why I recommended that they make them available to members of the committee, and I appreciate Director Panetta following up on my suggestion.”

How exactly did Obama kill Bin Laden again? I didn't think he was in Paw-keee-ston at the time.LadyJazzer wrote: That seems to be YOUR problem...Not the rest of the intelligent world... The "great Obama" killed Bin Laden... The Idiot-Son did not. Must be hard to deal with that.
