WTF? Buried at sea?
 

I'm the furthest thing from a conspiracy theory kook but why in the world would you bury the world's most heinous fugitive from justice at sea so fast? The fucking president of the United States not even allowed to see the body in person?

absolutely NO way now to confirm it was really Osama bin Laden - I'm sure there is video, but that does nothing to confirm anything.

yeah if true it really sucks! too much food for conspiracy nuts..

The decision has been made to respect Muslim tradition in burying the body of the most wanted man on earth. A senior administration official tells ABC News, "We are ensuring it is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition. It's something we take seriously and therefore it's being handled in an appropriate manner.‬"

Islamic law dictates that the body be bathed three times in a specific, ritualistic manner, while covered by a cloth. The bathers are generally same-gender family members of the deceased, though this clearly will not be the case for the body in question.

After bathing, the body is wrapped in a kafan - generally a white cotton cloth, to protect the modesty of the deceased. Prayers are then said to request forgiveness for the dead.

Burial customs vary by region, but it is tradition for the body to be buried the same day as death. In this case, Bin Laden's body is expected to be buried by 4 p.m. on Monday afternoon, before sundown.

Traditionally the body is buried in the ground without a casket, with a grave marker that does not rise more than 12 inches above the ground. However, U.S. officials say that Bin Laden is expected to be buried at sea to prevent his gravesite becoming a shrine and to discourage vandalism and grave desecration.

As Bin Laden was a citizen of Saudi Arabia, the Saudis will be offered the opportunity to take custody of the body. They may not accept it.

[UPDATE]: CNN reports as of 3:20 am EST that Bin Laden's body has already been buried at sea. While surprising for most Americans, this adheres to Islamic tradition as the body has been buried within 24 hours of death

Apparently something to do with his religion / buried within 24 hours, or some such thing.
:P

:edit:
As I posted this, so went the above post!
;-)

LOL I was thinking the same A deal maybe ...we pay you 200 miillion $$$ and you play dead lol

I would hope they took extensive Photos, Videos, Finger Prints, and some Blood for DNA.
Is this buried at sea in 24 hours real? I mean most of them live in the middle of BFE, LOL.

They did, but there will still be conspiracy theories.

Any of you young enterprising minds want to start a fish food business?

And the funny thing is even if he is really dead somebody else will just take his place

They don't want his place of burial to become a shrine. they tried doing this with Che Guevara's body too. Sounds like they've learned from their mistakes by burying at sea.

I thought it odd when I read it too.

Conspiracy theorists will dine out on this for sure.

This is actually a perfect ploy to keep the opposition conspiracy nuts active, and thus further diminish their own significance.

Now that all the birther's have been fully exposed and trivialized, the Obama admin needs another group of crazies to further damage the reputation of the GOP/Tea Party gang. Enter the new group of crazies...the "DEADER's"

Yeah, if they didn't , do you think there would've been fewer conspiracy theories? I know for a fact that Hitler, Elvis, and Michael Jackson are alive and kicking - a friend of a friend saw them playing dodgeball just last week.

al jazeera just said that's why they did it. shrine prevention.

always:2 cents:

BULLLLLLLSHITTTT what about saddam ?


BIN DEAD BEEEEEEENNNN DEAD since 2002 google the shit little shits

Conspiracy theories are usually about negative events. For the most part, people are happy with the official story here. I doubt the conspiracy theories will reach mainstream acceptance like others have.

When people like the official outcome, there are much fewer conspiracy theories.

Can you imagine if Bin Laden prepared a video to be shown in the event of his death, basically saying: "News of my death has been greatly exaggerated, blah blah..."

Holy shit, the conspiracy theorists will have to be instituted... it was a bad decision to bury him straight away.

It is believed that Hitler's ashes were dumped in a river for the same reason too.

:2 cents:

I believe true Muslims aren't hallowed burial in a casket either. Something about their reanimated zombie corpses not being able to get out on judgement day or something.

Hopefully they put him in a steel casket that can be pulled out of the sea in 100 years to shut up the conspiracy nuts of 2111.

Smell too fishy to me. Literally.

Why not a shrine, throw in an Al-Qaida party and bomb the hell out of his followers?
Maybe not, but they could gather much more intelligence with a shrine. Laden may be dead, but not Al-Qaida. :2 cents:

It literally smells of a fish? Thats odd.

Well sure but why would the Obama administration want to put out any kind of news that would halt the momentum of the trump viral videos on the correspondents dinner. It was only just getting started. If they were gonna cheat maybe they would have chosen another day

Really?

Reading the comments on Yahoo news, I was surprised to see the exact opposite from the majority of posters there:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_bin_laden_burial

Yeah, Bush would have done it already.

love that one:
what they did wasn't even muslim tradition

They should have wrapped him bacon and then buried him in dogshit.

Remember it took them about a week to show us Sadam's hanging. I bet he is fucking alive tho.

the american people have become so naive. They're actually buying into this "we just killed Bin Laden" lie.

why no body to show, not even some DNA to prove it was him?

I will post this one more time, and want to see those "officials are right" to give a comment?

haha that gif od obama kicking the door down is funny

Where are you gonna bury him? Anywhere you bury him will become a shrine for terrorists. Get rid of the body and be done with it.

i can't wait to hear what alex jones has to say about ...lol

The North Pole.

Ridiculous... and the disrespect given Saddam Hussein when they shaved his beard off and all.... lame. Yep lame.

his beard hasn't got grayer in the 10 years since those famous photos of him were taken - seems strange to me. maybe he's using JustForEvilMasterminds facial hair dye.
