UMKC professor discusses possible release of Osama bin Laden photo

KANSAS CITY, Missouri - As we wait for the government to decide whether or not to release the Osama bin Laden photo, NBC Action News talked to a foreign relations expert who says the political impact is too good to resist.

"The con part is that it's going to inflame a lot of people in the Arab world. The pro is sending that signal that I was talking about a moment ago. Put it into a picture and say okay this guy is dead, nobody is safe,” said UMKC Associate Professor Bob Evanson.

If the government releases photos or videos of Osama bin Laden's death, do you think they should be featured on NBCActionNews.com or one of our newscasts?
