Saddam was a different story, he was captured and trailed in Iraq after which he was executed by hanging. Osama had been tried in absentia and convicted which is why they executed him when they stormed his compound. I'm sure some of the top echelon guyz would have liked him alive but the chances of that happening was always slim at best.
erm dont you think that statement of the burial is weird considering that he was killed inland ... sorry it sounds more like they disposing of evidence ... you dont see them doing that for the other people they killed during firefights ...

though if the idea was to dispose of the body so that people dont make a shrine of him then thats another case which is still wrong in Islam ...

after a quick search ... this seems to be the debate going on about the burial ... http://www.saigon-gpdaily.com.vn/Int.../2011/5/92208/

seems most muslim scholars agree that the chosen burial method was wrong

i do agree tho, i doubt al qaeda will do nothing whether the facts are real or fake ... time will tell
