Why is everyone so willing to treat his dead body with such contempt? Is that how you treat all your CIA assets?

Long overdue, I dunno about the proof of death but deep sixing the body was probably the best way to do it to prevent the grave from being made a shrine.
 
Much credit goes to the team that went into that town, took him out and brought his carcass out.  No matter who is in charge, they are the real heroes here.

Me personally I think he should have had a nice funeral with a Jewish Rabbi, a Catholic Priest and a Southern Baptist Preacher, and buried with a King James version of the Bible!!!!! than dump him in some hole somewhere

Unlike most of you, I work with Muslims, be they Turks, or Egyptians, or whatever. All highly learned officials with a very high degree of culture.

NONE of them ever showed anything but contempt for Osama Bin Laden, they cordially hate his guts.
They rightfully accuse him of having made an entire religion and its people an apparent (or real) threat.

BUT

On the other hand, let me ask you this:
1) Why was his body NOT handed back to his family, the Saudi Royal Family, one of the closest allies to the USA in The War Against Terrorism? His wife/son/brother could have easily identified the body with 100% certainty, whereas to say 99.9% DNA certainty simply means "yes, he's human", as in "no, it isn't a goldfish nor a banana nor a chimp, it's actually a human body". You don't have to be a doctor to say so, just watch any CSI show.

2) Why wa the body NOT buried "6 feet under"? Islamabad is over 1000 miles away from the coast, and he certainly wasn't buried at the beach; so, why was a dead body flown to a carrier out at sea and then dumped into the ocean?

3) To bury at sea a Muslim who died on land is, by all means, blasphemy. By Islamic Law a man is to be buried where he is found dead (=at the nearest cemetery) and there are plenty of cemeteries in Islamabad !!!

I have already discussed the facts about the photo.

To make a long story short, there are far too many details that DON'T match up to make the story credible.

I will now research about Benazir Bhutto's claim "about the man who killed Osama"; Benazir Bhutto was not your average soccer mom; she was Prime Minister of Pakistan and daughter to Ali Bhutto, former PM of pakistan himself. To prove what a good job they did when on term, they were both assassinated, much like other Heads of State who became martyrs for their own Countries.


At 2:15 she clearly quotes Omar Sheikh as the man who did it.


At 1:30 there are plenty of EU press asking/reporting Bin Laden as dead years and years ago, and pointing out the use of a lookalike.
In fact, the Navy Seals may have caught a body double and dumped him at sea when they realized it.

JOG, Mpescatory, and others...Now that I think about it. you all may be right about this whole thing being a fake.

I think there never was an Osama Bin Laden. I think he was made up by Bush and Chaney so that they could make 911 happen and thus go to war on Iraq to steal their oil for their corporate masters, their oil business buddies.

A clever ruse indeed. After all the right-wing think-tank "Project for a New America Century" stated in their manifesto years ago that America needs a new "Pearl Harbor" to rally the American people into a war. (For oil).

The Navy seals never went in there. The seals are just a big joke used to play out these kind of things to make them look real.

How clever you guys are to figure all of this out. They had me completely fooled last night, but now I know better. Now I know the real truth thanks to you guys.  

Right on Vers, I'm with you. (See my post above).

And only SHE has the REAL story.  

I hope all his 72 virgins are ugly.
