You don't capture the most wanted man on the planet, someone who's caused countless wars and then dispose of the body, evidence and close the case without proving it.
Its obviously BS.
Anyone who believes this really does fit the definition of gullible.
Video of Osama bin Laden's dead body being dropped into the North Arabian Sea from the USS Carl Vinson early this morning will be made public, according to officials.
The 40-minute ceremony, and perhaps photos of his corpse, will be released "cautiously," according to The Associated Press, citing two Pentagon officials.
U.S. intelligence officials believe Osama bin Laden made a propaganda recording shortly before his death and expect that tape to surface soon.
It is unclear whether the tape is audio or video, but a U.S. official says that intelligence indicates it is already working its way through al-Qaida's media pipeline. The official said the timing was coincidental and there is no indication he knew U.S. forces were bearing down on him.
A new recording from bin Laden would provide a final word from the beyond grave for a terrorist who taunted the U.S. with recorded propaganda for years. It could also provide fodder to those who insist he is still alive.

What would you have done with the body?
Set it up on the White House lawn as a Scarecrow?
Set it ablaze and run down Pennsylvania Avenue?
The United States government showed that they are better than the douchebag terrorist and respect the Muslim religion. They, in my opinion may have reduced the amount of retaliatory attacks by treating his lifeless body in accordance with Islam law.
There will always be a conspiracy with those who live with conspiratorial minds.

I accidentally starred your post while I was explaining to my wife what a 'shill' was. For the record, I disagree with your gubbmint-loving statements and pseudo-mockery of the conspiracy theorist community.
duly-noted. However, I think some elements of the conspiracy theory community deserve to be mocked. In fact, the sooner more conspiracists realize that the sooner more relevant conspiracies can be discussed without public derision. I don't mock the conspiracy theory community, but I mock elements within it--you probablu fall within that group. Try explaining that to your wife, but remember this goes beyond black and white thinking you may accustomed to.

No, DNA from his son would not be the same.
DNA from a full blood brother would match almost perfectly.
Or perfect as this source says:
Only men have a Y chromosome, and a father will pass exactly the same Y chromosomal DNA to all his sons. Therefore, 2 brothers with the same biological father will always have exactly the same Y DNA patterns.
sibling DNA

The sheet was actually Glad Press n Seal freezer. The 40 minutes was the cooking time to defrost his body in the USS Carl Vinsons super microwave.

Apparently the wife called OBL by his name and this helped the SEALS ID him? What?!
1) is it likely she would do that?
2) she would have spoken his name in Arabic. how the hell did the SEALS, during a firefight, catch his Arabic name?
this is all so hard to swallow.

Osama didn't have a full brother, or a full sister. He was the only child of the union of his father and mother. He may have plenty of half siblings, but no full ones.

Because no one has ever known or been trained in multiple languages and be a member of the military. It is Un Heard Of.
And yes, if my husband dragged me in front of him for a shield I'd probably say his name. Along with several other choice names while I still had breath.edit on 2011/5/2 by Aeons because: (no reason given)

What blows my mind is that there is not one news station that is questioning the reason for such a quick burial at sea. Not one. Every single news station is accepting that we would chase this guy for 10 years, and then a day after we kill him, we dispose of the body. Right.
Our modern media is sooo pathetic.
