Don't forget the lack of pictures....

That's understandable, you don't want to spread pictures of a dead body, not to mention that really would piss people off.

hmm No and Yes, pictures of dead bodies of famous people are spread about a fair bit, was watching something on mob families the other day, plenty of famous mob Bodies were shown, sadam video was shown of him hanging, nothing was said then, but yes i guess it would fuel fundamentalists

I don't know about Bin Laden actually, I just watched a 1 and a half hour documentary on it, I'm pretty convinced. Especially the drone video footage of him, I don't think there are many other 6 ft 4 Bin Laden look alikes.
I can understand they didn't want to piss anyone off, but they should have done to him what they did to Saddam Hussein. After everything Bin Laden did, their priority is to treat his body with respect? They should have killed him their and then and taken his body back to America or taken him back to America alive and executed him.
After learning more about the operation, it is pretty fascinating what they did (and the actual dangers of the operation and the consequences if it goes wrong), but after all that they went through, they go and kill the world's most wanted man, it seems like a wasted opportunity.
