So why bother? It's the birthers all over again.

Giving them proof wouldn't have shut them up back when it happened and it's absolutely not going to shut them up months after the fact.

Omega vision and lucien pretty much summed it up as to why

you don't see Al Qaeda admitting Bin Laden was killed as proof?

It will shut up some of them definitly even if not all, and having no proof of bin laden death would cause some people to become conspiercy theorist. I know many people who became conspiracy theorist for the simple fact that theres no pics of bin laden death.

arguable

the birther thing did get enough mainstream press that simply dimwitted or non-politically conscious individuals began to think there might be some credibility to it. However, after the release of the long form, many people were actually satisfied, and the issue lost mainstream appeal.

sure, the hard conspiracy theorists wont believe it, but if the OBL death conspiracy ever became, say, an election issue, there might be a sizable number of people who the images would sway.

Though, I agree, the conspiracy is essentially among the true believers at this point, so releasing the photos would be meaningless.

There isn't much point. Some people genuinely want to see proof before they accept a claim, and those people will appreciate evidence. Others just want to maintain the conspiracy for their own psychological dependency.
