Bin Laden's death faked

I wrote earlier today that conspiracy theories will abound among Muslims in the world that Osama bin Laden was not really killed by US forces Sunday, making it imperative that the US government release photographic, not just scientific evidence.

Well, the conspiracy theories are abounding already. A Facebook page has already been put up debunking his death, called, "Busted: Osama Bin Laden Death. فضيحة مقتل أسامة بن لادن" - Link

Purporting to have photos of OBL's dead body, including facial shots of the corpse, the page claims that the photos are photoshopped.

One example is below the jump - be warned, it is bloody. To get to the jump, click here. (If you went to this post directly, then the jump is already being displayed.)

SkyNews asks, "Can US Offer Final Proof Of Osama's Death?" and includes this tidbit:
The release of a photograph purporting to show bin Laden's corpse - which was later confirmed to be a fake - added to the confusion.
But the article does not say when this supposed photo was released or under what circumstances. Is it the same photo that "Busted" is using? No indication either way.
