>> sean: tonight the ap puts the obama administration under the gun to release the photos of bin laden. >> frank luntz asked his focus group whether they think the president should release the port pore item pictures. >> i want to see the photos. i reserve how i feel about obama on how he deals with pakistan. >> barack obama had the courage and the guts and the coolness. >> the best night of his presidency. >> sean: this week our special bin laden edition. all of that, plus one of the nfl's most controversial coaches stops by. rex ryan coach of the new york jets here. we are on the road to 2012. hannity starts right here,

right now. despite the president's best efforts the photographs of a deceased bin laden may still see the light of day. associated press has filed a request under the fry dom of information act for the release of the photos. the administration has 20 days to spoken. the ap is asking the obama administration release the photograph of bin laden's dead body and images taking -- taken during the burial onboard the uss vinson. we are learning new details on how the intelligence community plotted the raid. "the new york times" reports a cia team had been monitoring the come bound from a rented -- compound from a rented house nearby before the raid. bin laden's wife told interrogators she was living in the compound with eight of bin laden's children and she did not leave that compound for five years. while americans continue to celebrate the death, many are

expressing different he motions. bin laden's supporters stormed the streets of london today outside the city's american embassy and vowed that islam will triumph and america will pay for the death of the terrorist leader. joining me with analysis, lanny davis and author of "because they hate." and brigitte gabriel. guys welcome. i think there's a good chance that the administration does not win this battle. >> well, there's a national security exemption in the freedom of information act. i assume that's what the justice department will argue. when you have the department of defense saying that the military men and women will be in dangered by this type of photograph. when you have the president with a certainty and dna evidence being able to say that he's dead, i don't think you override your secretary of defense on a decision like

this. president obama made the tough call. >> sean: this is the decision they've come to, four, five days after. that was not what they were saying in the beginning. the argument he made why they didn't bomb the compound he wanted proof positive for the world that he could show the world he was dead. brigitte, your take? >> it is very person to show the pictures of osama bin laden. 50% of the war is won through psychological warfare. the other 50 through military battle. when we go into a battle with our enemy we do a shock and auto shock them and demoralize them and show them we are going to destroy them. when you kill your enemy, especially a high target value like bin laden you have to show his picture to demoralize the ranks of al-qaeda and send a strong message. you may hide, you may run, but you will be killed in a humiliating way. and we are going to show you how you are going to die.

>> sean: lanny? >> sean, there is evidence that he was killed. if there had been a bomb that evidence would be been obliterated, namely his body and dna evidence. >> sean: not necessarily. >> if you used the kind of bomb that would have had to explode in that level of explosion there would have been no dna left to sample. the idea of going in with the commandos was to get that dna evident. no -- evidence no doubt if he were alive they could say the photo was doctored. >> sean: they could say that any way. what about this shifting, changing positions of the white house. he used his wife as a shield, he didn't. he a gun. he fired. he didn't have a gun. he didn't fire. within thing after another. they can't seem to get their story right. jay carney has looked worse than robert gibbs if that was possible in terms of him

trying to thread the needle and explain this. don't you think we have a right to know? >> kind of been there, done that about the kind of information that is available to you when a story is breaking isn't always correct. jay carney is speaking what he's being told. and other people involved in the pentagon should have gotten this trait before putting anything out. i think -- this straight before putting anything out. i agree this is not surprising that it takes a while to piece together the story. the leaks did lead to -- >> sean: not leaks definitive statements contradicted by the same administration. look, i'm with you, i'm 100% certain bin laden is dead. but i want to send a message to every terrorist, we are going to hunt you down, fan you, if it takes 9 1/2 years or nine weeks and we are going to shoot you dead and this is what you are going to look like. bridge , a lot -- there's

video of this burial at sea. we are told that he is not a muslim. because he represents a hijacked version of islam. which believes in 72 virgins in heaven. yet they bury him within 24 hours at sea, all these efforts to clean the body. to wrap him up. all these efforts, 40 minutes on the uss vinson translated into arabic. >> here's the confusion and the wrong messages we are sending. it shows our enemy that we ourselves are not clear as to who we are fighting and what we are fighting. the president is talking from both sides of his mouth. he's not really a muslim but we give him a burial like islamic royalty this is validating the radical islamist point of view. of their supremacy over the united states. they are looking at america's behavior. they are thinking even

americans subconsciously acknowledge that our religion is superior to theirs and they must do these rituals to honor. they are using it to their advantage that is boosting their morale and making us look weaker. >> sean: there's a hypersensitivity, he's not a muslim but gets full islamic burial. 40 minutes interpreted into arabic aboard a u.s. warship. don't you that i is a bit overboard on their part? >> you are second guessing members of the intelligence community and our military -- >> sean: you think he deserved that lanny? >> i think it was a strategic judgment that was a wise judgment, yes. >> sean: a terrorist who killed 3,000 americans whose remains we didn't find deserves a full islamic funeral even though they are telling us he's not a muslim.

>> you are second guessing our military. >> sean: there's a naivete in here -- wait a minute, they think that they can reach out and the islamic world somehow going to look at this as a sign of, you know that we are really not against them, when we've never been at war with muslims. but we've been at war against radical islamists. >> you are entitled to your opinion. respectable opinion to guess which way you should go to try to be respectful and let the muslim world know that we have intelligence and military community people who planned this not barack obama alone that sean hannity is second guessing. you have a right to do that, but i'll respect their judgment. >> sean: you are saying bin laden deserved a 40 minute funeral. >> i don't think he deserved

anything, he's a murdering thug. >> sean: murdering thug deserving of -- >> our intelligence community -- >> sean: that seems to be your fall-back. >> sean: brigitte, think the muslim world that maybe the president was trying to appeal to, are they going to see this as strength or weakness? >> weakness. forget respect, the man was a murderer and we are respecting him and giving him these rights. >> we are making a strategic judgment. >> sean: what's the judgment? >> wrong judgment. >> you are in a television studio not in the field of battle. >> i understand arabic. i come from the me east. i can tell you one thing, revenge, revenge.

>> sean: the killing of bin laden is somethingwa that everyone agrees was good for the u.s. and the world. does it change how president obama's critics view him and the job he's doing as president? frank luntz asked his focus group of south carolina republicans about the president, bin laden and more. frank? >> he's dead. the man is dead. the most hated man in america is dead. my question to 29 south carolina voters, do you give barack obama credit for this, yes or no? >> no! >> not at all. >> who says no? >> no way >> you don't even give him credit? it has been two years, under his administration. >> didn't he campaign against all the policies that the prior administration put into place?

>> you give him no credit. >> the strategies, policies, procedures, tackle capabilities all came from george bush. >> thank you. >> you give him some degree of credit. he acted -- he gave the order. it was against his principles. >> he was the man that was behind the desk at the time the trigger was pulled, i have to give him credit for that a lot of people overlooking george bush for this which they should not. >> he rode on the coattails of something that was already started. >> all you give him credit for is coattails? >> i disagree. i appreciate that he had to give the command and and i appreciate that. >> he gave the command. but the credit goes to those young men and women who did the operation. >> he had no choice. >> if george w. bush had been president, i know you people would have been cheering and celebrating his leadership.

-- >> obviously, obama had no choice when we found bin laden than to give the go ahead to take him out. that's the only thing the man has done. >> to show he was a strong leader everybody has been criticizing him. this goes back. there's enough credit for everybody here. >> i don't know how you can give obama credit he's going against everything he ran for in his candidacy. he was going to end the war. get out of there. arrest terrorists, give them miranda rights. i can't imagine how people voted for him feel. >> people are going to say that there's a segment of america that just won't give him credit for anything. what do you say? >> keith what give him credit for? >> he could have called off the hunt, bush had eight years to find the guy, didn't. next election it would have been a nonissue. he kept going. even though he campaigned against policies, he kept going down the path of bush.

>> this has been going on since 2005 when they first got the information. he ran with it all the way. >> he ran on closing gitmo. he learned that was an ignorant statement and he never closed it. it lead to capturing and killing bin laden. >> maybe we shouldn't know that it happened. >> exactly. >> it should have been kept classified. >> everyone needed to know. every american needed to know he was dead. it did not need to be detailed. >> you agree with him that he's not releasing the photo? show of hands who agrees he should not release the photo? who wants to see the photo. even on that you don't give him a break. >> they should have made the decision prior to any going in or shooting. i don't think they should be retracting statements about what went down. >> every policy that he was

against when he was running -- every policy that brought this guy -- was a bush policy. >> maybe he's grown. >> no. >> i think it depends on why he's not releasing the photos if he's afraid of offending muslims i don't agree. if he's saying america does not do trophies and , then i agree. >> do you think obama is afraid of offending muslims? >> yes! >> i want to see the photos. i reserve how i feel about obama based on how he deals with pakistan and the fact that man was in their country for all that time and kept saying he wasn't there. >> i'd like to know if he polled since last september on how the public felt about getting rid of -- [ talking over each other ] >> one last question about this. he just went to the site of 9/11 in new york --

>> sean: welcome to media mash. time to expose the most outrageous examples of the main extreme media's liberal bias this week the coverage of

bin laden's death. here to go through the material the one and only brent bozell. for pure entertainment purposes we have to start with joy behar. we don't have to do these who are able things to terrorists offer them money, a book deal perhaps and it would probably have the same impact. >> if we used these enhanced techniques they can use them on us. >> they do use them on us. >> it encourages more around the world. then our soldiers have to endure it. it is possible that a six million dollar book deal would have worked just as well. there other ways. to get information out of people, pay them off. who knows what would have worked >> sean: maybe she forgot the beheading of danny pearl and nickberg. i don't think bribing them with a book deal is going to make them like us. >> i'm not trying to be

pejorative about this. joy behar is an idiot. i don't know how well to put this. she an idiot. the cia would sit down with khalid sheikh mohammed and say okay we can waterboard you or give you six million dollars for a book deal. cough up bin laden's name. and by the way we are going to put you on oprah way is she talking about? doesn't it tell you about the condition of the media today. this woman has two tv shows now? >> sean: i didn't know that the media this week did not focus at all -- the only reason we were able to kill bin laden sunday gitmo, enhanced interrogation, rendition, black sites, all of these tactics that barack obama himself opposed. there's plenty of praise now for general president obama. roll the tape. >> president obama turned into

general obama and ran this incredible, incredible raid. it took a lot of guts, the kind of thing you do see in hollywood movies. >> this is the best night of his presidency. we are going to hear more about obama got osama. >> president bush tried. president clinton tried. but barack obama had the courage and the guts and the coolness and took that -- >> sean: none of it would have happened but for george w. bush enhanced interrogation, rendition, black sites. they don't touch it. they don't mention it brent bozell, why? >> think what bar pwrr walters just say. obama had the -- courage guts and coolness. george bush didn't have courage, guts and coolness? only bin laden i mean barack obama had the courage and the coolness? you want to praise the man for the president for what he did,

i'm all for that. a great job. but my god where were they when george bush won the war in iraq? why can't they give him the most minimal praise? because of this man's techniques that they condemned all these years, because of those techniques that man is dead today. >> sean: the only one who came close to admitting it was leon panetta, to his credit. pbs you know those americans celebrating the death of the terrorists that killed 3,000 americans, watch this. >> i have a heavy heart as i look at this. i think that a lot of americans are justified in feeling a sense of relief that bin laden is no longer walking planet earth. but i think the celebration should also be confronted with a deep sense of sorrow at all that has been lost over the past 10 years. >> does that moon your stomach turned by the jubilation and cheering outside the white house? >> i think it is idiotic to treat these kinds of

international events like sporting events. like it is the world cup we are cheering for. >> sean: no, we are cheering for the death of evil. and good and hard work and the greatest military force on the face of the earth was able to successfully -- they always had the means we finally got the intelligence. >> that clip is a great example as to why it is an outrage that the american taxpayer is being forced to fund pbs. great example of why it is an outrage this is happening. i would add something. the far left is not happy that weather bin laden is dead if the national news media had any guts they would report this. michael moore is out there claim ago that obama executed -- claiming that obama executed bin laden without a trial. malloy said he wished the navy seal people had taken out president george bush had killed him. >> sean: i would think the

secret service could pay a little visit to mike malloy. >> i hope a navy seals team plays a visit. >> sean: i want your thoughts on this. almost like a sympathetic view of one of the mrs. bin laden's. >> she is from yemen, country osama considered his homeland she was much like him, simple, pious, not interested in luxuries like his other four wife. it appears she lived his life on the run. >> she joined bin laden and traveled with him during one of the most difficult parts of his life, which is when he was mostly on the run traveling across pakistan, afghanistan, with few luxuries. yet she stuck by him. >> sean: wait a minute, much like him, simple, pious, few luxuries, in a million dollar compound? you gotta be kidding me.

never having to say you're sorry you slaughtered 3,000 people. either she is the world's greatest airhead to be with this terrorist, this murderer of people. two, she agrees with history here you have on national network in the united states of america playing violins saying they are sorry. guess what, i'm glad. i loved what giuliani said sometimes it is not right to wish somebody's death but if you should, this is a man's death to wish for. i'm happy everyone in that compound who was supporting him is also dead. >> sean: much like him, simple, pious, few luxuries. by the way, tomorrow night brent bozell is hosting his dishonor as wards gala where they roast the most bias liberal reports. >> let not your heart be

make -- who are we trying to get to love us? what audience is he targeting? >> i think these taking the advice of his national security -- >> sean: think through this, 40 minute funeral, james? cleaning the body. translated into arabic, wraps him in a shroud. 40 minutes for a murderer, terrorist, low life! >> we also put bullets in his head and dumped him in the ocean. i call it an effort perhaps not to inflame things. >> sean: inflame who? >> inflame people who -- >> sean: inflame people who think that bin laden? >> might be tempted to think like bin laden. i'm not upset by this funeral thing. i am bothered by the spiking the football comment i'm sympathetic to the argument for not releasing the photos. i think saying we don't spike the football was a crass thing to say. as my colleague wrote this

isn't about pride it is about proof. people are asking a lot of questions. the president may be doing the right thing but he should have respect for people who see it differently. >> at some point we have to stop caring about homicidal maniacs might think about what we do. remember this cartoonist who jokingly suggested we have this muhammad day. she's had to change her name and move because she got death threats. nobody seeps offended about that. but we are offended about what people who already hate us are going to think. these pictures should be released now. as far as i'm concerned where is bradley manning when we need him? let him out for a day. get the pictures, release him, then throw him back in jail. >> sean: maybe not a bad idea. >> i think these pictures will likely come out. we had birthers who wanted to see obama's birth certificate and now they have it still

believe he wasn't born -- is there anybody who doesn't think bin laden is dead? >> sean: i think he's dead. i want every other terrorist in the world to see what their future is going to be like. >> the president says he doesn't want the photo of bin laden to become this iconic thing. why not? i don't want the image to be him holding an ak-47. i want the iconic image of him to be with a hole in his head. not because i'm bloodthirsty so people will look and say maybe i shouldn't -- >> sean: did you see the pictures of the others in the house? would it so offend us. you go to the movies and you see more. watch brave heart or glad for and you will see more blood. >> i can't say i was upset by them. >> sean: you said we put a pull let in his brynn and those people who are going to be mad are mad. i don't think -- they've

already threatened retaliation any way. >> i could argue this either way. i'm undecided on this sean. i'm not going to push back too hard. you make a persuasive case. >> i feel -- >> sean: you are too zen tonight. >> we have no idea what the government is up to on any given moment. we did not know this was happening. we have to trust that same team. >> sean: would you agree, what happened sunday would not have happened but for george w. bush's policies equipment >> i do not know. but i am happy to share credit because this is a win for team america. >> sean: would not have happened without bush, right? >> panetta said as much. >> sean: that's where we got the courier, nickname and took it from there. why can't the president admit that. >> i'm sure he will. you ask him. >> sean: he won't talk to him. he's too afraid to come on a

>> sean: one of the post talked about coaches in the nfl. in two seasons with the jets rex ryan has led his team to consecutive afc championship games. i sat down with him to talk about his new book. it is an honor to meet you coach. >> nice meeting you. >> sean: you are tough to work for. the players love you. you are having a lot of fun. >> i don't think so. i think i'm an easy person to get along with and all that. i really many. i enjoy and respect -- i respect all the guys i coach. i respect all the coaches that coach with me and all that kind of stuff. i think it is easy to play for

me and things. maybe i know there's a time every once in a blue moon i get a little up set, but rarely. >> sean: you are also having fun. i've interviewed a number of them. they love playing for you. you bring the best out of them. you are passionate about it in every way. first, you came so close, i love the fact that you tell everybody we are number one in new york and we are going to the next 10 years. people take you on all the time because you expect to win. >> i expect to win. i've been doubted all my life. i'm sitting here in front of you today, because i overcame a lot of different things. i'm confident, not just in myself. sure i'm confident in myself. but i'm confident in the men that are on our football team and the coaches i coach with. >> sean: i've enjoyed watching

mark sanchez in the two years he has been in the league. i think he's really grown into what you predicted he would be a franchise quarterback. you can't be a competitive team and get to the super bowl unless you have one. what did you see in him early on that convinced you? >> first it want just what i saw it was what tannenbaum, our general manager we had woody johnson down for this private workout -- >> sean: owner of the jets. >> right. we had our offensive coordinator, quarterback coach, matt cavanaugh was there as well. we put him through a grueling workout. i mean really. every pass known to man that he did. and he was so accurate. the thing that impressed me more than anything, besides his physical abilities and all that, was the fact he had 24 receivers out there there's other top prospects that might have had two guys at his pro day. i thought it smoke volumes

about who mark was. >> sean: e]s'p -- you insist yor players do interviews. if they do, they got to mention two players and one coach. in every interview. >> right. i will never tell a player what he can and cannot say. i will say this i encourage them, whatever you do, mention two of your teammates and one coach. i know when somebody says something good about you whether player, coach or whatever, you feel like king kong. you are on top of the world. i think that's what maybe it is a little thing that we do for team building, it is too easy to do. we are doing the right thing. at the end they start coming together and the real challenge is, when we are in the playoffs and saying now you have to step it up to four teams, one coach and somebody else in the organization. the guys great about it. they will cook in, whoever in.

it is a neat thing. maybe we pick up a player off waivers from dallas. i got the new kid in. they are proud of it. that locker room feeds itself. >> sean: this is what your book is about, play like you mean it, laughs, leadership not just in football, but in life too. life the fact that you are about to go into war against peyton manning, who i think is one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. >> no question. >> sean: tom brady. >> same thing. ditto. >> sean: belichick another great coach and you are willing to go out there, we are going to win this game. back-to-back on the road you beat both teams.]mç you've taken shots at these guys in the press and enjoin i every minute of -- and enjoying every minute of it what is the method you want to get in their head? >> sometimes. other times it is what i'm

feeling. sometimes it is. when i said that it is going to be about bill belichick and i and that's it. whoever is the better coach that day. >> sean: probably a stupid question. i'm pulling for you guys to win the super bowl. i predicted you would win last year. this year, is the year. >> i believe so. >> sean: why? >> i think number one, we've been in the same system for three years now. we got to be around our peak as far as this is the time. we are the only team in the nfl to go to back-to-back final fours. so, you know anything less than the super bowl is going to be a huge disappointment. the fact our quarterback is entering his third year. usually a huge step up from your second year to your third year. we know how to win. we know our formula for success. it is not that we are teaching new ways of doing things. we just gotta, you know, go out and do what we do and do

it better. i think we're all in for it. we have to improve in the red zone, especially our red zone scoring on offense. then, we gotta honestly, we have to play better at home. there's no reason we shouldn't have a dominant team at home. >> sean: you win on the road all the time peyton when he's home. winning against brady when he's home not easy. you didn't vote for obama, did you, because this is a political show? >> that's funny. >> sean: when have you ever been silenced before. >> i can't win, one way or the other. >> sean: coach, i love the book. big fan, i wish you the best this season. >> thank you. >> sean: thank you for being with us. the news continues. greta is standing by. see you monday night. have a great weekend.
