I understand the government and military withholding some information to protect national security as well, and I don't have an issue with non-disclosure when that's legitimately the case.
When it comes to the Bin Laden killing, I find it very hard to believe that the photo of governmental and military leaders watching the Bin Laden raid live streaming is a fake.

The reason it's hard for me to believe it's staged or faked is that's a lot of people trusting a lot of other people to keep a secret and tell a lie that could easily get out and crush their careers and credibility. To put photographic proof of a lie like that into the public domain doesn't make sense to me.
There are too many ways the administration could have gained and taken credit for the death of Bin Laden without so many people putting their asses on the line in such a way. That's just my opinion.
P.s. The faceless "John" identified in the photo is said to be a CIA analyst.
