The White House decided us mere mortals shouldn’t be allowed to see Osama Bin Laden’s death photos but allowed members of Congress to view them at CIA Headquarters. Sen. James Inhofe took the opportunity and after basking his eyes in the “gruesome” imagery, he went on TV to tell everyone what he saw.
If you don’t have the patience to sit through the six and a half minutes of the interview, these are the main points:
- “The brains were coming out of his [eye] socket.”
- Speaking about the rumor that part of Bin Laden’s skull was gone: “It appeared that way at first. Then when you saw the other pictures later, you could tell it wasn’t that way. Now, what happened was if the bullet went into the eye socket, then it was an explosive, it detonated once it was in so that caused the brain to come back out of the eye socket. That’s what made it look so gruesome.”
- At the time of his death, Bin Laden was wearing what “you would call underwear.”
- “There is no question he was dead.”
