I agree; burial at sea is a good option. But I would think that they would want to wait to do that after some 3rd-party confirmation of identity.

Meh, he doesn't need any more virgins...didn't he already have like 12 wives?
Greg Bernhardt said:Al Jazeera reported he was in a Mansion outside Islamabad
Ivan Seeking said::rofl: No, but the Muslim world will. They will want to see the body; hole in head included.

Located in cozy, quiet neighborhood. Interrupted only occasionally by machine gun fire. Lacking in ameneties, but an up and coming area. Handyman special. One satellite phone available with smoking bullet hole for comms back home. CIA helicoptors offering complimentary air lift service for corpses. Great property to get away from it all. Must See!
Pengwuino said:So apparently they buried his body already, and at sea.

This is odd...

Gawd I hope I don't wake up tomorrow to a bunch of conspiracy theories.
Proton Soup said:yes. it doesn't seem well-thought out.
lisab said:I read http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42853221/ns/world_news-death_of_bin_laden/" that the order to go in and get OBL was given on Friday by President Obama.
Now think about what he was doing Saturday night - the correspondent's dinner! I thought there was a very nice glow about him that evening ! I'm sure he was being briefed the whole time, it must have been a fantastic evening...that makes me happy for him.
Lacy33 said:ZI wanted to friend him. He must be feeling pretty bad right now knowing he will not get any wergins.
Given his track record recently, I wouldn't want to be the focus of Obama's attention.Lacy33 said:No kidding Lisab. He was taking out two wacko's that night. Though one is still alive.
I would watch my back if I were Obama. The one still alive is even more dangerous. :yuck: And he is werry mad at Obama.
They just need to weigh the body down properly. A depth charge would do nicely.Ryumast3r said:Ok, now the burial thing: I'm sure it was, and I agree with the decision. You don't want to parade a body around, like I said above, because that will certainly make a martyr out of him and make us seem like terrible people. We want to bury him as fast as we can (mind you it could take a couple days at sea for the body to be finally laid to rest... the ocean is a large place), and in a place where his body cannot become a shrine. This means somewhere in a large ocean like the atlantic where his body couldn't be found by some poor fisherman off the coast of some African nation.

I agree that burial at sea was above-board.MATLABdude said:I think it's a wise decision. No body to recover for a shrine or massive public funeral, and assuming it was done properly, no way for somebody to desecrate the body or otherwise provide any propaganda value. Everything done quick, above-board, and with no fuss.

Probably not - I wonder if the Pakistani leaders know who is living next door to their nuclear weapons bases? Given the information released in the past 24 hours (most wanted man on the planet living under their noses) it seems anything is possible?Proton Soup said:anyhoo, can we bring the troops home now? probably not.
alt said:The photo definitely looks fake - they even admit this on the web site. I don't think anyone in authority claimed it's real though, did they ?
A couple of oddities though;
- He was killed a day or two ago according to news and posts here ? DNA tests take several days at least though, don't they ?
- The crowd outside the White House .. scaling trees and waving flags .. at 1.30 AM Monday morning ? And all quite young, student types .. odd - like a kind of rent-a-crowd ..
Good that the SOB is dead though (even if they had to thaw the body out).
It is not revenge. Revenge is for those who do not have the authority of law to enact punishment. He murdered 3000 US citizens. He was pursued and caught by the US government (and, well, frankly, resisted arrest).jostpuur said:This celebration of revenge looks sick.
