just because you weren't invited didn't mean "picture day" didn't happen, same with video and DNA testing. what would they do with his body, anyways? showing it to the public would make us look more barbaric than we do already, as it would just look like we were trophying it around. america's still coming off the high of vengeance they got when they heard the news, providing ALL of the evidence would just make us seem even worse, as it'd be just the same as showing the body: people would say it's "a testimony to american power" or some such nonsense. give it another few days.
and an autopsy would be pointless. i can imagine it now:
"Sir, the autopsy on Mr. bin-Laden is complete, it appears he died from the gunshot would to the head."
"Excellent! I suppose this rules out the 'raccoon laceration exsanguination" theory!"

Did they have his families DNA history on hand to run the sequence after they offed him?
I believe its all BS because i believe it takes longer than a day to sequence when you have both sides to compare, if you know what I'm saying, even with the latest DNA sequencing technology

The perception that the Muslim population and other viewers got from the media of the US public's reaction to Osama's death is that we are barbaric, and that we did show off and have a parade for Osama's death.

Then why did they feel the need to show pictures and keep the bodies of Zarqawi, Hussein's sons, Hussein, Pablo Escobar, etc.? I'm not saying we should have mounted it, get real. But they should have shown the American people, before they disposed of the body. Why do you believe this story? Do you believe the government always tells the truth?
Because showing this right off the bat of his death could ignite some serious rage of his followers, and really I don't know what they may have up their sleeve (especially since they do major attacks every 10 years or so). They didn't want to push the buttons of any sleeper cells that may have a dirty bomb and just waiting for something disgraceful like a picture of Osama shot up on CNN to spark them to set it off.
Let the winds die down, you'll get your proof. Yes we deserve proof, but have a little faith.

Us "sheeple" have bought into it because we stopped, thought before we spoke, and realized if Osama were to be buried, it would become either a shrine or a place of mass death. Sometimes what we have to do to preserve peace sucks.

The excuse that showing Osama's body would be viewed as a barbaric act of parading a trophy around is laughable. I watched the coverage of the news about Osama's death. People were parading in the streets, chanting USA USA and singing in praise of his demise, and the media couldn't get e-freaking-nough of it. You don't get more egotistical, showboating, and barbaric than that.
The perception that the Muslim population and other viewers got from the media of the US public's reaction to Osama's death is that we are barbaric, and that we did show off and have a parade for Osama's death. The -only- thing that wasn't provided was the "trophy," the evidence. Everything else you described was in play.

While you were thinking did you think of what the difference is between OBL's corpse becoming a shrine and Saddam, Ooday and Qusay Hussein's bodies becoming a shrine? Where are their bodies, and what happened to them since they've been disposed of? Not a shrine as far as I know. For that matter, why plaster their pictures all over the place, but not OBL's?
You didn't stop and think, you stopped and let the government tell you what to think.
Since when did Osama become a pirate lord deserving of a burial at sea?
