Bin Laden was buried at sea after a Muslim funeral on board an aircraft carrier, Pentagon officials said.

There's nothing in the muslim practices that would require one to be buried in the sea.
Muslims believe that Adam was made from soil/earth. When one dies, they are to be returned to the earth. 6 feet under.
Never heard of dumping in the sea. Not in any known sect of islam.

They really are getting sloppy. Buried at sea? Really? Wonder who thought up that quant touch?
Do these people even stop for ONE MINUTE to digest the information and data of what happened before blindly getting swept up in the propoganda?
Rhetorical Question!

Umm, yes and people will be all snobbish about how we honor all faiths especially Muslim here in America under POTUS. This is to hide any truth from coming forward, if there was honor they would have left these duties to the family of OBL. Anything we can do is dishonor.

I don't know if I'm missing something but;
1) Why was Osama just shot dead in the first place and not captured alive. I know there was a bounty on his head, but I don't understand why he was just shot straight out.
2) Why are they not treating this like they did with Sadam? Capture, trial, execute.
3) Where is the evidence? Why is the only evidence we have so jumbled up I can't make heads or tails of it. There is no solid proof except for pictures of a bloody room, a crashed helicopter and word of mouth. There are no pictures, no footage. You'd think with this being a high profile case there'd have been someone who snapped a picture.
Yesterday when I heard about it I went onto bbc news to check out the story. There they had a quote by someone who said that the rumours OBL had been buried at sea were false, and that the US had the body. I see that statement has disappeared from the new report and replaced with

I know you take media coverage with a pinch of salt, but really.

To be exact, Muslims can be buried at sea if: they are too far out at sea to find land to bury them, are only surrounded by land where scavengers could dig at and eat the body before full decomposition, if the body might be dug up by enemies and desecrated in some way, or if nobody can be found to officially accept the body and do a full Islamic burial.
I think the latter is the reason being thrown around why is was OK to do this, and it was OK to do this. I expect it to be used to incite hatred but if they had found a country to take the body willingly, the mad mullers of the Middle East would have still used it for the same reasons anyway. This was a no win situation.
I don't recall the mad mullers crying out for Christian burials when those dudes were dragged through streets and burned, or for the thousands of bodies which have been found on the streets of Iraq over the years.
They should throw these examples out there and see how the bearded lunatics of penis-ville explain them.

i beleive he was killed and a burial at sea makes perfect sense to me to prevent his body becoming a site for worship and pilgrimage. his body was probably dropped form a helicopter over the Arabian Sea!
Photographic and DNA evidence is out there but it is being held back for when the next scandal will hit the White House, then, hey presto! here is the proof you have all been waiting for and watch the real news get buried!!
