18. What causes you to ask that?
Is there something in the poll's phrasing that hints that?

I am not asking this rhetorically. It is agaInst the du rules to question another poster's motives.

32. I think it is a legitimate question to ask why.

5. Third choice...
Disposing quickly of the body is just odd enough so the Obama bashing can proceed during a time when Obama should be thanked for following through on yet another campaign promise.

And just to head some off at the pass... there's still time, so any campaign promise not yet fulfilled is still open to going either way.

33. Yeah, DNA, enough to match dental records, maybe a few bones.
File it away or put it in museum case.

8. What would you have preferred they do with his body? Bring it back to
to US and burn it? Hang it from some bridge like the Iraqis did with some of our guys? Did a hole in Pakistan? This was most likely the best option. He's GONE! Soon the griping will die out and life will go on.

25. That's an odd reply to a very generic poll.
Personally, it seems odd that they dumped him so fast. Not that I'm a deather or whatever the term is for those who think he was killed/died long ago. I just think some additional verification might have tamped down the conspiracy theories that are now likely to grow.

But that's just me.

10. Disposing of the body in this way denies his crazy followers a shrine.
I think that's quite enough reason to have done it this way.

I'm with Obama on this one, 100%

11. Good thing - Islamic law calls for burial within 24 hours
This was met and will show that the US has respect for the religious traditions.

13. Why? Safety of the
rest of the world. Anywhere his body would have been held would be a site for suicide bombers etc.

14. Let's face it....
if the Islamic requirements had not been met (ie: within 24 hours), and if other rituals had not been respected, there would be hell to pay. Satisfying the skeptics/conspiracy theorists was not the concern of any responsible person. Those folks would never be satisfied. I'm surprised the "it was OBL's double" idea has not been raised. I've heard just about every other possibility thrown out there by CT people, except, of course that it was exactly as is being reported.

26. You'll hear plenty more CTs, too.
The fast disposal will fuel some, even as it tamps down others.

15. Not just in keeping with Islamic Law
but also in making it impossible to find his body among the fishes. Burial at sea, apparently, is also acceptable with Islamic Law. Schrew.

19. Why must it be one of those?
Given all the things they could have done with it, it was probably the least unwise choice. But I don't need to put the label "good" or "bad" on it. It is what it is.

21. True.
I think they weighed the pros and cons. In the end, it was better that they took him dead rather than alive. It was better they disposed of the body rather than letting some crazy nuts build a shrine to commemorate his acts against Satan. To top it off, it did not take an entire army or even a division to take him down. It only took a baker's dozen of special forces.

22. Well the police usually are onto you faster if you keep the body around.
Is that what you're asking?

23. Good thing to respect Islamic law
that says it has to be buried by sundown. Good thing to bury it at sea, an acceptable way to do it, to deprive crazy people of a shrine to get crazier at.

We took the high road for once. No wonder Republicans are screeching foul.

24. To be honest, I feel like walking blindfolded, in the dark, and with earplugs on
I have no idea why they buried it at sea

Why not bring it back and use it for research?

Why not cremate?

Why not at least show the body to the public (as was done with Sadaam's sons)?

Perhaps this was the best possible solution. There will be no martyr's body to worship. There will be no gravesite to honor.

But at the same time, the skeptic in me has his feelers out. Maybe I'm just cynical, after 8 years of Bush. Everything we're told must be scrutinized.

Thus the blindness analogy

27. Good Thing. It may help defuse any suggestion of desecration and

it's burial place can't become a shrine.
