I think the last rights coupled with the sea burial was the MUCH safer bet.
No one taking the body, plus desecration of grave, plus mourners congregation/shrine status?
It's just too many factors- too many variables. Dumping in sea was the ONLY logical choice.

Twitter user unknowingly reported bin Laden attack(CNN) -- As U.S. forces in Pakistan swooped in on Osama bin Laden on Sunday, at least one Twitter user was unknowingly reporting details of the raid.
Some of the first public accounts of the military operation that killed the terrorist leader came in the form of tweets from Sohaib Athar, an IT consultant in Abbottabad, the city where bin Laden was found.
But the significance of Athar's posts wouldn't be clear until hours later when users of the social-networking site -- and the rest of the world -- learned of President Barack Obama's plans for a rare, late-night address to announce that bin Laden had been killed.
The first clue from Athar came after 4 p.m. ET Sunday (after midnight in Pakistan).
His first reaction? Annoyance at the noise.
"Go away helicopter - before I take out my giant swatter :-/," he wrote.
But soon, it was clear that more was going on than a random flyover. He reported seeing an airplane fly overhead. And he worried, as most anyone would, that terrorism might be involved.
"A huge window shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope its not the start of something nasty :-S," Athar wrote.
He posted an incorrect local media report that a helicopter had crashed, or been shot down (perhaps jokingly, calling it a UFO) and gave details of military cordoning off areas of the city.
Then, about eight hours after his first tweet, Athar acknowledged that he'd heard what happened.
"I guess I should unsubscribe from the #abbottabad search on twitter before it kills my machine," he wrote. "Leave Abbottabad alone, Osama and Obama... ."
According to what appears to be Athar's Facebook profile (it also lists him as a consultant and links to a personal website with the same name as his Twitter profile), he graduated from the University of the Punjab in Lahore, Pakistan, in 2001.
He also earned an MBA from Preston University, an online school headquartered in the United States, it says. His public profile page lists his religious views as "Myopic" and political views as "Anarchistic."
By early Monday in the United States, the online deluge for the man who also runs a small coffee shop was just beginning. As his tweets were discovered, the online messages and media requests began.
"Uh oh," Athar wrote. "(N)ow I'm the guy who liveblogged the Osama raid without knowing it."
According to the Twitter statistics tool TwitterCounter, Athar had 751 followers on Saturday. By Monday morning, he had more than 32,000.
CNN and other media outlets reached out to him for interviews. But, by Monday morning U.S. time, he seemed to only want sleep.
"I am sorry but I am overwhelmed with emails/phones/chat requests at the moment -- I will definitely try to answer your questions, probably as a blog post -- as soon as I can," he wrote in an e-mail response to a CNN interview request. "I had been working all night and didn't anticipate that I'd need to stay awake till noon too, so it is hard to talk over phone/voice chat."
And a final tweet Monday morning:
"Bin Laden is dead. I didn't kill him. Please let me sleep now."

It may be logical to them but highly disrespectful and inflammatory to his family and friends.
When Bush and Obama dies why don't they grind them into a paste and use it as fertilizer, more logical than wasting it burying the body or burning which is not in keeping in the going green mantra.

I would go as far as to say these ppl were/are enemies of the State. They used to often boast of their plans to kill Manning etc.
No serving PM of Trinbago should be threatened in such a manner. Not Kamla, not Manning, Not Panday. None. It was a joke to them, I dunno how the destabalising of your OWN country could be a joke.
There allegiance was OBVIOUSLY aligned to some foreign power or entity. We may never know.

The positives far out weigh the negative effects of this burial scheme.
Sorry, but there is no convincing otherwise. This was the ONLY way.
Anything else would've been far worse.

I distinctly remember you posting here on a thread about police killing a bandit, you said something about the police should kill Kamla next. Dont have time to look for the thread now. But im sure of it. I know u were riding on what used to be said about Manning in the past but joke or no joke, stuff like that should not be expressed publicly and here u agreeing to that yet in the past u did the same.

The man was already wrongfully accused.
This act would give credence and inflame other terrorists to heighten activities across the world as retribution. I personally think it was an idiotic idea. A gesture of good will would have gone lot further than this thoughtless act, especially seeing the changes that are undergoing in the Middle East.

Being the mastermind behind the destruction of the Towers, those planes caused damage yes but not to drop a building in controlled manner as that, likewise the fact that the pilots were trained in America and were in the country legally......................... the list goes on.

These are essentially your beliefs?
Have you irrefutable evidence to substantiate this wild claim?... Or do you only rely on "conspiracy theory" video clips?rollingstock wrote:...The man was already wrongfully accused...
You're joking, right? Ask any member of ANY of the 9/11 the families if a "gesture of good will" is appropriate.rollingstock wrote:...A gesture of good will...

We're NOT talking about Saddam right now... Stick to the point and stop trying to obfuscate the issue! (Try a "Google!")
Either produce relevant evidence that can stand scientific and logical scrutiny... or STFU!
