you guys are missing my point- burial at sea, no one there cares for Islamic customs. that is not the issue. the issue is they would be displaying his body on national tv right now? that is the big ?
giving him an Islamic burial at sea is not a concern for the people who supposedly have his body.
there are too many inconsistencies in this story now that it appears to be well questionable.
right and thats where they hide the truth.
this is all political drama,,,

They killed him intentionally and deliberately, and they want through him in to sea for the same reason. They didn't want to be haunted by keeping and him alive, and they also don't want to be haunted by his grave. It could probably turn in to a ziarat. :-)
LOL haunted please, that's a lame excuse. They should show the evidence of his kill and capture. You don't think it's a bit unusual how they were so quickly able to do everything. The DNA test would have taken a few days, but they got him Saturday? They already buried him at sea to meet Islamic standards of Burial?!?!?1 When Has Islam ever encouraged burial at sea?
If you were to ask me...I'd say they put the body ontop of a Navy vessel to do the DNA testing or whatever and then threw him overboard according to Islamic burial requirements of 24 hours.
Osama bin Laden's hideout near Islamabad: His killing has revived questions about alleged links between al-Qaida and Pakistan's security forces. Photograph: Farooq Naeem/AFP/Getty Images Pakistan's government is facing deeply uncomfortable questions in the US and beyond over the presence of Osama bin Laden near a military facility less than two hours from the capital, Islamabad – and angry claims from Afghanistan that its own position has been vindicated.
Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, hinted that the Pakistani state itself was complicit in sheltering the terrorist leader, saying Bin Laden had "hidden himself in the military bases of Abbottabad".
The killing has revived questions about alleged links between al-Qaida and elements in the country's security forces.
Ironically, only 10 days ago Pakistan's army chief addressed cadets at that town's military academy – the equivalent of Sandhurst in the UK or West Point in the US – claiming the army had broken the back of militants linked to al-Qaida and the Taliban.
Islamabad had long insisted that Bin Laden was not hiding in Pakistan but in neighbouring Afghanistan, but tensions with the US had mounted in recent months over cross-border drone attacks and the government's faltering efforts to tackle the Pakistani Taliban.
Pervez Musharraf ,president of Pakistan from 2001 to 2008, described Bin Laden's death as a "positive step", but criticised the US for launching the raid within his country's borders.
Calling it a victory for the people of Pakistan, Musharraf said he also expected some short-term instability due to acts of revenge.
"It's a very positive step and it will have positive long-term implications," Musharraf told Reuters in Dubai, where he has a home. "Today we won a battle, but the war against terror will continue."
Musharraf said, however, that the operation infringed on Pakistan's sovereignty: "It's a violation to have crossed Pakistan's borders."
But suspicions of complicity will centre on the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan's powerful security and spy agency, which is widely considered untrustworthy by its western partners.
"For some time there will be a lot of tension between Washington and Islamabad because Bin Laden seems to have been living here close to Islamabad," Imtiaz Gul, a Pakistani security analyst, told Reuters. "Pakistan will have to do a lot of damage control. This is a serious blow to the credibility of Pakistan."
In Kabul, Karzai seized on the news of Bin Laden's death to criticise the US-led coalition, complaining that it was focused on counter-insurgency operations in the Pashtun south of Afghanistan rather than Taliban safe havens over the border.
"Year after year, day after day, we have said the fighting against terrorism is not in the villages of Afghanistan, not among the poor people of Afghanistan," he said. "The fight against terrorism is in safe havens. It proves that Afghanistan was right."
Aminuddin Muzafary, secretary of the High Peace Council established by Karzai, said Bin Laden's death "removed the curtain from Pakistan's face." He added: "His death shows the unfaithfulness of Pakistan but it is also possible that it was a business deal between the CIA and the ISI. Time will reveal whether or not this was a deal or something else."
The news was "very worrying," said Abdullah Abdullah, Afghanistan's top opposition leader. "Just a few weeks ago the Pakistanis were insisting that the US military and intelligence operations should be stopped in Pakistan and their agents should leave the country."
Afghanistan's intelligence service has long believed that their Pakistani counterparts were harbouring Bin Laden. Last year, shortly after he was sacked by Karzai, Amrullah Saleh, the former head of the National Directorate of Security, claimed the ISI knew exactly where the al-Qaida leader was hiding.
Saleh told the Guardian that the Pakistani state deliberately kept Bin Laden safe so that the west would ignore its nuclear programme. He said: "They built their nuclear bomb under the very watchful eyes of the west. How did they escape from that danger? By creating another crisis for you. If I make an analogy – you have a pain in your finger and pain in your kidney, which one [do] you go [for] first? They created a kidney pain for United States through Bin Laden and Taliban so you give up talking about the pain from the nuclear bomb."
Elements within the ISI have long been accused of sympathy for militant Islamism and of aiding the Taliban in Afghanistan and insurgents in Kashmir as part of their regional rivalry with India.
The Indian home ministry issued a statement expressing "concern that terrorists belonging to different organisations find sanctuary in Pakistan".
In London the Pakistani high commissioner, Wajid Shamsul Hasan, insisted that Islamabad had no idea of Bin Laden's whereabouts until the US operation. "Nobody knew that Osama bin Laden was there – no security agency, no Pakistani authorities knew about it," Hasan told BBC Radio 5 Live. "The fact is that the Americans knew it and they carried out the operation themselves and they killed Osama bin Laden and then later our president of Pakistan was informed that the operation was successful, and that's it."
But the chairman of parliament's foreign affairs committee Richard Ottaway said: "Unfortunately, I am not sure that the government of Pakistan speaks for the whole of Pakistan. It is a divided country with lots of tribal loyalties, and there are clearly internal divisions within Pakistan's security services.
I felt immensely skeptical when I saw the headline. But what ? They dumped his - supposed - body in the OCEAN?
I was going to say "let's SEE for ourselves" since I found it too convenient as a political coup for the democrats and obama. Ghundal is right too: it could have been staged to allow for the disengagement of troops with a big jolt of victory on the part of Americans. You can imagine how mad they would be without anything to supposedly "show" for all these many years interfering all over the region at HUGE COSTS to the taxpayers....people WERE starting to wake up about that. So seems strange to me that it occurred too on Communist Workers Day.... if indeed it DID happen and DID happen Sunday.
Myself I don't even want to read the supposed details. Because they could be a total waste of time: fiction made up for the home audience.
