That people could rally around. remember, they took such care to bury osama bin ladens body at sea so there wouldnt be a shrine. you dont want a shrine that is a photographic shrine. so there is that. there wasnt -- it seems, a clamoring to get this photograph. there wasnt a lot of skepticism as we understand it. people really doubting, in fact you are osama bin ladens daughter acknowledging yes, indeed, he was dead. it sounds like the president weighed the equities. we decided that the presiden...

Pale on the conspiracy theorists, they wouldnt believe anything anyway, just forget what that evil mans face looks like and move on to the next order of business. i will say something and i think jonathan would agree with me. the fact that leon panetta who is on my review board when i chaired that board, the fact that my friend panetta says we should release them, i would look at that carefully and listen carefully. if thats what the intelligence community thinks we ought to do, we should. my re...

What is to be gained by releasing it, said to be very gruesome, as you know. bin laden was shot in the region of the left eye, blood and brain tissue said to be visible there. you dont want to present that image to the public and unnecessarily inflame the muslim and arab world and what is to be gained really? are people going to believe it if they publish a photograph? there is already a taliban commander saying bin laden has been dead for a year and a half, nothing really happened that night or...

>> joining us, the msnbc daily rundown, savannah guthrie. good morning, what do you have today? >> we expect a decision today whether or not to release that photo of osama bin laden. i talked to sources who have actually seen the photo. a lot of people have mentioned how gruesome it is. im told bin laden is recognizable. the picture is very gory. he has a gaping wound above his left eye, theres blood, brain tissue. so theres a real debate going on within the white house about whether to release ...

That to the rest of the world. apparently there is a very active debate within the administration. weve heard recently from the republican head of house intelligence committee who says he doesnt believe they should be -- that that photo should be revealed. and the thinking along those line, both democrat and republican here in the administration and elsewhere is what is to be gained, not only as you said, would it present an iconic image, perhaps, to islamist radicals across the world, but it mi...

They reorganize everything we know about alzheimers disease. >> learning more about these presupr precursors help us protect ourselves and find out if we have it. >> they dont assure or guarantee someone is going to get alzheimers disease. these are laboratory studies that research has confirmed a high correlation, meaning if youre not having symptoms but you have these abnormal levels, you might think about options for treatment to protect yourself in the years ahead. >> okay, now lets talk abo...

P.e.t. scans. this decreases in time. then theres a series of blood tests, tests for carrier genes, and spinal fluid tests, looking for amaloid and other proteins we know are dangerously associated with alzheimers disease. >> since we know theres no cure for alzheimers, what kind of benefits are we learning from the idea of diagnosing it very early? >> fredricka, if i told you one year from today, your house was going oo be robbed, i have a strong feeling you would spend a lot of team over the n...
