Well my theory is that this guy was probably far too much of an intel jackpot to take out with a simple double-tap.
I'm no expert on intelligence or covert ops, but if I were running the CIA, I'd have him stunned/wounded.
Then taken and locked away within a massively secured underground compound within the US, and then take my sweet old time extracting info in any way I choose, without even the whitehouse knowing about it.
I know, I disturb myself sometimes LOL

I really do think that it was supposed to be a capture mission til someone looked at OBL and decided he wasn't worth the millions in holding and keeping him, and instead gave him $0.97USD worth of revenge (the cost of two bullets).
As for the burial at sea - well now they can't go and enshrine him, worship and put up an altar to the great jihadist... he's shrimp food now. I still think someone may have had some ham fat on their fingers as they prepped his burial stuff. Burial with an unclean animal prevents a Muslim from going to heaven....
In reality - there's too much to lose with a potential holding of OBL, and a lot to gain by simply smoking him and then disallowing him to become a focal point.
