They could have avoided the whole picture thing is they would have obeyed American law, I was in the Army and know the rules of engagement, shooting someone who is unarmed and not a threat to anyone else is murder clear and simple, in America we are supposed be civilized, I realize we are far from it, but the right thing to do would be put him on trial, if it were really him.

Whether or not we're civilized is subjective. I would assume that we attempted to get Osama alive but that it didn't work out for one reason or another. Even if you assume that the American government is evil and thoroughly self-serving, apprehending Osama alive is the most practical course of action for interrogation purposes.

Perhaps, we did get him alive and that's why no pictures are being released, so that we can interrogate him without demands for a trial.
