Earthquake in Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea has experienced a 6.5 magnitude earthquake.  It brought down several homes, building, bridges, etc. Currently there is no report of a tsunami or even any deaths.  This is shocking because of all the devestastion that has swept throught out Papua New Guinea.

Do you think that there are really no deaths?  I believe that there has to be deaths and unjuries throught the country.  The country for some reason is giving false information.  Papua New Guinea has to had some deaths.  Papua New Guinea lies in the "Ring of Fire"  where 90% of earthquakes happend.  The destruction throughtout the region is atronamic.

No Picture Release

Sunday night  FBI's most wanted  Osama Bin Laden's was killed in a daring raid on a compound in Pakistan.  There has been much controversy to whether or not bin Laden was killed or not.  There has been a public outcry of a picture to confirm that he had actually been killed.  The white house has announced that they will not release the picture of his corpse to the public.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110504/wl_nm/us_obama_statementI believe that a picture should be released.  The comment that it is not appropriate because of its graphic nature is ludicrous.  We are all mature adults and can handle the picture.  The claim that it will cause Muslim outcry and retaliation is also absurd.  I believe that they are more upset that we killed him than if we posted a picture.  That is probably the last thing on their minds.  We might as well be able to see it.  It is our right to see it.
