Scott Brown: Osama Bin Laden Picture I Saw Wasn't 'Authentic'

First Posted: 05/ 4/11 06:13 PM ET Updated: 05/ 4/11 06:22 PM ET

Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) signaled his belief that pictures of Osama bin Laden's dead body should not be released to the public during an interview on Wednesday, saying he's "seen the photos." However, that was before the Obama administration announced it would not disclose the graphic images.

Once it became clear that Brown had not seen the pictures in question, the senator found himself having to do damage control. "The photo that I saw and that a lot of other people saw is not authentic," said Brown in a one-sentence statement, according to the Boston Globe.

Brown's office is declining to explain who showed him the fake photos, why he would believe photos that didn't come directly from the administration, and why he had suggested he had seen them as part of an official briefing.

The Massachusetts senator initially told NECN, "Let me assure you that he is dead, that bin Laden is dead, I have seen the photos." He added, "If it's to sell newspapers or just have a news cycle story, no, I don't think they should be released."

15. I think the media can't stay away from him. They seem to adore him. We hear
what Brown says about everything, usually with chuckles, grins,and admiring head shaking from local TV news anchors.

It's as though both Kerry and unbiased journalism have ceased to exist.

Nauseating.

9. Why are MA voters so stupid that they would re-elect this liar by a huge margin, according to polls?

Isn't it bad enough that they foisted Romney on the nation?

11. If you just read the headline (as many will do) it says it all:
"Scott Brown: Osama Bin Laden Picture I Saw Wasn't 'Authentic' "

The deathers will be all over this one, since they won't read past the headline. See, SB is talking to them in code.

13. What is appalling about this is that Brown made it seem that he saw the photos
at the meeting he attended. He was a lightweight in the Mass senate and house, and is still one in Washington.
