Osama bin Laden Is Dead – What Now?
Osama bin Laden Is Dead – What Now?
Osama bin Laden is dead, but many questions remain unresolved. Like, how was able to live at a compound in a Pakistani city, apparently for years, undetected? And should the White House release photographs of his body? Officials are apparently eager to quell conspiracy theories – but at the same time – they’re concerned about inciting violence. We’re joined by Massachusetts Congressman Stephen Lynch and by media critic Dan Kennedy. We’ll also check in with the World’s Matthew Bell in Cairo about reaction to bin Laden’s death in the rest of the Arab world.
