There is a reason for everything....

I suspect they did so for the same reasons Adolf Eichmann was buried at sea. No country wants to host the grave site, it would be a nightmare to prevent vandalism from his detractors, and would be a rallying point for his supporters.

Thats what I am hearing on the news.

And good riddance you piece of shit

While I understand that, and would agree to an extent with doing this, it still lends suspicion to whether or not we really got him. Perhaps hanging him from the walls for a few hours would have made this more reasonable.

Even hanging his body from the White House gate would not be enough for some people. If you saw his corpse, would you be satisfied? Do you know what he looked like well enough from a few photographs and video footage that you could say for sure it wasn't a stunt corpse under a foot of facial hair? Would you clip a fingernail and do your own DNA test?

All we ever really had, or ever would have had, was the word of the government.

I'm glad he's dead.

I get the skepticism but Obama would have to be absolutely brain dead to make this claim without being certain. If Bin Laden were still alive all he would need to do is make and release a video with a Mark Twainian "Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated" statement. It wouldn't surprise me if a video is on the shelf and does surface but I don't think it will have any proof of a date.

Sure this could be a ruse, but if so it has a massive downside and would be pretty easy to prove false.

As always, goof = the voice of reason

Fake. Not saying that Osama isn't dead. I think he's tits up at the moment, and the soldiers are getting all their "fucking Bin Laden's dead body" pictures to post on facebook. But the pics released are fakes.
