So I did a search in HRC's e mails for Alex Jones…4 e mails popped up (the no subject draft e mails) from Sydney Blumenthal. In them it talks about a plan to expose OBL's death pictures at the same time the BHO birth certificate scandal was happening.

Re: OBL photos
Yes, there is a Third Way—on the Bin Laden photos. Show them to members of Congress in a
special secure room, something like when members were permitted to view Abu Ghraib pictures.
Here are the reasons: Having the members file through will provide testimony to the President's
feat. They will be not only be acknowledging but also enhancing his power. They will in effect
become liegemen bowing before him, but not in any way they will resent or will protest. They
will serve as witnesseto the magnitude of what he has done. Each of them will emerge speaking
to the national and local press on what they have seen. Their words will be descriptive, but they
will not be equivalent to graphic images that could be circulated themselves and have
mischievous consequences. Having the whole Congress see the photos would have these likely
impacts as well: The far right wing Tea Party Republicans would by their mere presence admit to
the President's status above them and to his effectiveness. There would also be a salutary effect
at the beginning of the negotiations on the debt ceiling. It would curb the ability of the
Republicans to appeal to partisan sentiment and indulge in partisan rhetoric, giving the
administration more edge. Having members of Congress testify to the reality of the photos will
suppress any potential "Deather" movement, that the administration has either fabricated the
event or suppressed some aspect of it. (See below for article on the emergence of the "Deather"
movement.) This event should be staged over two or three days, occupying most of a work week,
and continuing to dominate the public and congressional mind. Don't let the photos serve as
trophies; instead take the Congress as trophy using the photos.
Perhaps the NSC communications operation could have done more turning an absolute triumph
into a PR fiasco. But I don't quite know how. Kudos to Denis McDonough
