Ruppersberger was shown death pictures at CIA headquarters
They are the most sought-after photographs in the world, and U.S. Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger witnessed what many want to see: Images of slain terrorist Osama bin Laden.
Ruppersberger, who represents parts of Anne Arundel County in his Baltimore-area district, earned the position of top-ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee this year.
That's how Ruppersberger ended up as one of the few people who got to see the bin Laden pictures. He viewed them Thursday at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., and talked to The Capital about the experience:
Q: The thing everyone wants to know about is the photos. Can you walk us through what that was like to actually see those?
A: There were about eight to nine pictures, and each picture had a live picture of bin Laden and then a picture after he was shot.
When you got into detail, they would have arrows pointing to his nose or his ear to make sure you could see the comparison of one picture versus another.
Let me say this: My first impression when I saw the first picture, there was absolutely no equivocation, from my point of view, that this was Osama bin Laden.
We know who he is. This is a man who coordinated the attack on the United States. He killed Americans. He attacked our country. So he has a lot of facial recognition.
There was no equivocation in my mind after looking at both of these pictures, that the man that was brought to justice and dumped in the sea was Osama bin Laden.

Let us make bumper stickers from the pictures to send a message to the anti Americans we have running around in our Country!
So we're supposed to believe it just because a professional liar says it is so?
Ruppersberger is not professional. He's just another Democrat.
Oh yes, please describe them for us. And then we will embrace the idea that our beloved government is absolutely certain it killed the right guy. Describe them for us - for we have faith in our government and do not require to "see" any signs of the government's story (logos).
Hearing is all we need. We have faith that our government never tells lies and always looks out for our best interests.
Anyone who doubts our government at this point in time is a traitor and deserves the imprisonment, torture, and death which our government will quickly issue upon your head.
You terrorists! If you don't believe in our government in all its perfection and moral character then you are a traitor.
It is unpatriotic to question our government.
Soon it will be dangerous to question our government or our media.
Americans are like sheep being led to the slaughter. We see the shepard's staff and long for its relentless bruising upon our necks.
You people are just weird. Got nothing to do since cactus closed so you hanging out here?
LOL @ 12:01. Yeah, some of these folks have officially left the reservation. "Show me a photo as proof, so I can then go on and on about how the photo is a fake just like that latest birth certificate". Hilarious!
Anyone see 60 Minutes last night? How many of these weirdos are the Sovereigns talked about there? Scary!
