[Updated 12:22 p.m. ET] Osama bin Laden's body was buried at sea according to Islamic law because no country was willing or able to take his body for burial on land, senior Defense officials said.

"When there is no land alternative, Islamic law dictates that the body be buried within 24 hours, and that was the basis," one official said. "

they couldnt find a suitable dead body that can be "dressed up" as osama bin laden in time that's why they "dumped the body to the ocean"

He was only ever the poster boy for extremist Islam. This wont stop terrorism 1 bit.

The reason to bury him at sea is simple. They don't want any type of Shrine or a grave that anyone can visit for Osama Bin Laden. It's that simple. They don't want any more lasting reminders about his existence other than the one's that are already there (ground zero etc).

That's if this even happened. I was ok to believe it if they produced some kind of body and, I would have imagined, given it to his family for proper burial rights. Who fucking gets buried at sea? I can't wait to see the logical shit storm they come up with to justify this.

I believe that by burying him at sea they prevented a shrine becoming of a grave site and also think if he was caught alive and brought to the US every single soldier would want to beat the shit out of him dead or alive i think it was a good call. And you are wrong strictly speaking to the word of muslim law he can be buried/ dumped anywhere if no site can be found within the 24hours.

And i do believe currently that the Obama admin are telling something that resembles the truth as no world leader is going to announce something in a public address that can't be proved to beyond doubt as the truth. That would be political suicide.

I believe that the Pakistan Government have a lot to answer for in this. I mean bin laden was living right next to a military compound in a house that stuck out like a sore thumb an no one asked questions.

The next couple of days will tell a lot.

so they don't want a tourist attraction basically? kind of like how 'ground zero' has become?
