That's IF they actually killed him and buried him at sea. They said they did, but they said a lot of things that were contradicting in different reports.
They watched the attack, they didn't watch the attack. They watched it live, they didn't watch it live. He was armed, he wasn't armed. He used his wife as a human shield, he didn't use her as a human shield...the list goes on and on...and I feel this story will unravel in like manner.

WASHINGTON (AP) --- The Associated Press has learned that more than 20 Navy SEALs from the unit that killed Osama bin Laden were among those lost in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.
There is no indication that the Navy Seals killed were actually involved with taking out Bin Laden himself. To me, what is written here implies that members of the same group were killed. A unit does consist of more then 20 operators. Doesn't mean it was the same exact persons involved.

I just never understood why they felt the need to bury him at sea,
None of the 22 SEAL personnel killed in the crash were part of the team that killed bin Laden in a May raid in Pakistan, but they belonged to the same unit. Their deployment in the raid in which the helicopter crashed would suggest that the target was a high-ranking insurgent figure.
