So you thought the picture at the time was a staged fake anyway? Begs the question, why release a 'staged' fake picture of the most important people in America in a clearly fake Situation room?

according to wiki's description of the photo:

"

U.S. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, along with members of the national security team, receive an update on Operation Neptune's Spear, a mission against Osama bin Laden, in one of the conference rooms of the Situation Room of the White House, May 1, 2011"

so it wasn't the situation room itself, it was a conference room of the situation room.

So something as momentous as that operation is only worthy of a conference room? Was the the actual Situation Room busy at the time with something more important?
