Vote: Agree with decision not to release bin Laden photos?
Obama also announced the decision not to release post-mortem photos during an interview Wednesday with CBS' "60 Minutes."
The White House had been weighing the release of a photo, in part to offer proof that bin Laden was killed during a raid on his compound early Monday. However, officials had cautioned that the photo was gruesome and could prove inflammatory.
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill, some of whom have seen the pictures taken by Navy SEALs, agreed with the president.
