Bin Laden buried at sea---CNN....(WTF....?)

[dixiegrrrrl]

"DNA matching is under way on samples from the body of the slain terrorist leader, the official said. There are photographs of the body with a gunshot wound to the side of the head that shows an individual who is not unrecognizable as bin Laden, the official said.

No decision has yet been made on whether to release the photographs and if so, when and how."

"Bin Laden's body was later buried at sea, an official said.
Many Muslims adhere to the belief that bodies should be buried within one day."

they kill him in the foothills of Pakistan and then take his body to "sea" where it is disposed of????
According to the usual "un-named official">

Biggest story in 10 years and the body is....gone.

and what does this sentence really mean:
"an individual who is not unrecognizable as bin Laden"

7. But he was buried at sea in accordance with Islamic law

I thought getting rid of the body so quickly was a bad idea, but at least his resting place won't turn into a shrine for his nutball followers.

8. Well of course.

They weren't going to disclose what really happened with the body. The Soviets took Hitler's body after WW2 and were certainly not going to say anything about it. They don't want memorials and that sort of thing. They want to erase the person.

9. Yeah, let's see that long form death certificate!
