>>17273269I just think it's kind of ironic that we'd give so much respect to the body of a man who obviously didn't have a shred of respect for the US or its citizens.
I can understand the political reasons, though, disrespecting the corpse would probably help to turn him into a martyr and turn Muslims against the US. But I'm not even a conspiracy nut and the burial at sea even sounds fishy to me. Just seems too convenient. I also don't believe that nobody would have taken the body, I mean Saddam Hussein was buried beside his family in Iraq. Surely Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, or Afghanistan could have found a grave for bin Laden.
