WASHINGTON – A U.S. official says Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea.

The official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, did not immediately say where that occurred.

Fish food. Perfect.

Hopefully when they tossed his evil ass overboard Mecca wasn't where he was pointing upon landing.

They should give the exact point (or any point... doesn't matter) where they threw his ass overboard, and any idiots that go there to worship the jerk... well, let's say they'd mysteriously join his ass too. Call it The Osama Triangle.

Really interesting that this is the way they chose to do it.

But it's probably for the best (Of course all kinds of conspiracy theories are going to spring up) but I'm guessing they didn't want to hang onto his body for too long just in case accusation of Americans burning Korans on it and pissing all over it came up.

Burn in Hell.

Dirtbag.
 
Aww...how romantic. So reminiscence of Titanic.

I think we might want to take that report with a pinch of sea salt. Let's wait for the official statement of what has been done with the body rather than assume an anonymous source speaking to a journalist off the record is the real version.

I don't give a toss what they do with the body, but I do care that it is properly identified and that there can be no conspiracy theories allowed to grow up around whether the event was hoaxed.

There's going to be anyway :shrug:

I mean come on, Obamas long form didn't shut up the H-Core Birthers.

H-Core conspiracy theorists of any stripe, whether its the moon landings or whatever, are never satisfied with any amount of evidence.

Bet you top dollar they're already working on their conspiracy theories at this very moment.

We'll see some in the next few weeks if not days.

This is true, of course. However, as with the Birthers, the release of proof removes doubt in the minds of the neutral observers. It relegates those inevitable conspiracy theories to the domain of the crazies like BmanMcFly and the other Birther loonies. Proof doesn't eliminate conspiracy theorists, it just convinces those whose critical faculties are still intact.

Fair point.

I agree with Part I.

I would think they'd covered Part II. If not there's a really huge chunk of feces on its way to meet a fan. One poster said this would ensure Obama's reelection. If Part II is cocked up, he may as well resign now.

Jeez, who'da thunk? I actually agree with you.
 
I'm assuming they will release a picture of his body eventually, even though he may not be recognizable since he was shot in the face. But I think they would also release the DNA results as well.
 
Enhanced interrogation on KSM at Gitmo led to lead on courier, which helped located bin Ladan.
 
Been talking about it on the Major Networks.

Ah ok fair enough.

At work at the moment, wish I could be watching the coverage.

Sadly my house here doesn't have any of the American channels :(

I miss my CNN and BBC World News.
 
Personally, I dont care how he died or where he was shot or where hes buried. I just want the guarantee hes dead and I dont have to see his face in any new videos....

Now i
 
Thanks for the link, but it says that he was shot in the head, not specifically in the face. Even if shot in the head, he could have been recognisable.

That was my bad, I should have used head, instead of face.

Fair enough. I'm sure that every measure (photos, dental, DNA) has been taken and that these results will be published in good time.
 
-- They should give the exact point --

I think the point of a sea burial is to ensure that there is no fixed point for which pilgrimages can be made.
 
This was the slickest operation ever. The Navy SEALS score another hit. Great job, SEALS.

Going into a the middle of Pakistan city like that had to be risky as hell.
