It could be the same as with Afghanistan having weapons of mass destruction, which they didn't. Personally I think Osama has died couple years ago, for he was quite actively sending tapes out until '07, then he suddenly went silent, which is quite weird in my eyes. Also I remember the way they found Saddam Hussain, there were tapes of how they got him out of that hole. If Bin Laden was really 'captured' there should surely be a tape of it. Also, hot topic or not, the fact that he was killed will probably give Obama a better chance at a re-election.
The white house said the photos are so gruesome that it may cause further backlash.
As gruesome as it may be, it needs to be shown. If they don't like what they see, they don't have to look.

But it could cause an even worse retaliation. What if your best friend was killed, and then they decided to release the photos of him after he was shot. You would not like it very much. (in this analogy bin laden is al-qaeda's best friend)
Then they should not watch it either... Also I don't understand why there should be need of 'multiple gunshots in the face'. Just a nice clean execution in the neck could have been sufficient, or puncture his longs, so he feels the terrible pain of choking in his own blood.
Once in the chest, once in the head. The chest shot stops him, the head shot neutralizes him.
The seals shot bin laden multiple times after he refused to go peacefully and ran toward a wall which had multiple weapons on it.
