After reading the article, I've concluded that people can't trust anyone. When the information about Osama had first been released America 'came to together as a nation.' Or were supposed too. But now, the news is old and people are in disbelief. Maybe because the world hasn't changed, but such a historic event went down. A large portion of America doesn't trust the government to begin with, so they feel as though they need to actually see him dead. I don't understand how seeing picture would make people believe Osama was really dead, with all the things you can do now a days with photoshop. In the past, a picture was a picture. Now, you never know if what you're seeing is true. People just need to believe, but the world is so full of lies it's hard to do.
