Actually, burial at sea was one way to ensure he DID NOT receive a martyr's burial.
But it appears that burial at sea is also speedy. Where else would they bury him? I am guessing it was faster than bringing him back to the States, and safer than taking him to those nearby mountains. I heard the Saudis didn't want the body.

And while there was a lot of evidence that OBL was responsible for 9/11, much of it was classified intelligence.

He had to be buried within 24 hours to respect the Muslim faith.
And Yes - - the Muslim faith needed to be respected.

How are you privy to classified intelligence?

It's laughable to suggest that George Bush had OBL, but didn't reveal it - instead letting Obama take all the credit.
If OBL was killed under Bush's watch, his presidency would probably be viewed much differently, and in a much better light.

The FBI has said there is "no hard evidence" bin Laden was responsible for 9/11. Sure the FBI would be privy to at least some of that classified intelligence?

Burial at sea...
- is there a possibility that his corpse/parts of his corpse could make its way back to land?
- was his corpse ejected at a location or in a manner to substantially mitigate or eliminate this risk?

they sure went to an awful lot of trouble just to kill him. why didnt they just drone a 100 round 30mm burst along with a lazed bunker buster???
seems kinda strange they just didn't pop a few gas canisters on him, put him out like a light, then hog tie him and whisk him off to Guantanamo
