I've read a week, DNA testing and confirmation, and already buried at sea.

Gotta be a record if this only happened Sunday morning. We got Osamas son in the raid as well.

What would the US gain to fake the death, if it would be so easy to disprove?
If the death was only staged, then Osama will surely send a new message to his followers... Or, my guess, many freeloaders will announce: "I'm Osama, and my wife is, too"

This was expectable...
To be balanced, the Palestinian Authorities of the West Bank approved the killing:

"Getting rid of Bin Laden is good for the cause of peace worldwide but what counts is to overcome the discourse and the methods -- the violent methods -- that were created and encouraged by Bin Laden and others in the world," PA spokesman Ghassan Khatib said.

They buried him within 24 hours to prevent muslims being butt-hurt.

They should have waited over 24 hours on purpose. AQ should know that they'll never get a proper burial, not that we'll bend over backwards to comply with islamic law. That part was a travesty, IMO. They didn't deserve proper burial (no one in that compound is innocent).

Strange thing is, if I recall correctly, Islam doesn't look too highly on burial at sea or cremation. Islamic law prefers burial on land from what I've heard.

Yeah. Apparently it's OK< but only if the person dies at sea and cannot be buried on land. So I'm glad it offends them. Hopefully the offense becomes widespread among terrorist sympathizers.

They should've cremated him and scattered his ashes over the ocean, but that's just me. Double the pleasure!

Hope they spread some shark food out before they threw him over, facing south. Should've strung him at at the trade center site for viewing.
