The reason for dumping his body in the ocean is simple, he's Muslim, they have to be buried before the sun sets on the day of their death. Since no country, not even his birth country, wanted him they buried him at see in a gesture to the Arab world that though they hated the man they still respect his Religion. 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

Yes, but read what Omega said again. Any country that said "Yeah, okay, you can bury him here" risks being associated with terrorism, however distantly - and I think Pakistan in particular would like to avoid any more accusations of being a safehold for terrorists - it's bad enough he was pretty much living in plain sight in a city, and not holed up in a cave.

It's basically going to turn into a clash of politics vs religion - I'm sure the Muslim scholars will argue the point, and I would most likely agree with them, but they're looking at things from a religious point of view, while governments have to look at a much bigger picture. Politics trumps all I'm afraid, and nobody really want's to piss off the US - trigger happy as they are.

Well said.

As to whether he is dead or not, I doubt the US would make such claims only to see him appear on youtube standing in front of the white house holding today's Washington Post or something. The Yanks are not always the brightest, but I hope they are not that stupid. I think the question should rather be when did OBL actually die? I reckon they offed him a LONG time ago and have merely been keeping it until they needed some good ol' morale boost.

Speaking of morale boost ^ it's ironic that I saw a Yahoo news headline something along the lines of "US soldiers morale low in Iraq" a day or 2 before Osama's death.

I reckon it will be worse now - all of them are thinking the bloke was practically next door and they missed their chance at that $25 mill

Wonder if the team who took him down is going to share in the prize-money? Or even if they're going to get it, considering the fact that they're government employees?

I'll leave that one for the conspiracy theorists to sort out. They need something to do with their time after all
