Unfortunately slipping him over the side of an aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea is just going to allow the screwballs a chance to say its a plot to make our CinC look like a hero. At least with Saddam and his get there were pictures.
Kronk, the 72 virgins thing reminds me of a Trace Adkins song called "Welcome to Hell." There ain't no virgins down there!

Well, they finally got the wicked bastard. Or did they? If the US Govt. told me the sky was blue I'd go out with a shade card and check.
OK, assume he's dead and that snuff photos will eventually show up, what then?
Alive in a hideout or dead and buried at sea makes no difference, it's his money that enables the terrorists and until all that money has been found and confiscated those murderous madmen will be as dangerous as ever.

In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Yeah, they have NOT released the "official" photo as of yet. They DID take photo's so they could scan and compare to verify the body. The US has yet to put them out, and the BBC got "bit" by one photo that someone did a very poor job on with photoshop....

Fred, I think you are dead on. Let's see. We got him, but we don't have a body, we buried him at sea. We got DNA, but it gets court cases overturned all the time. We have pictures, but 5 year olds can use Photoshop. We have video, but you can't see it because a Seal's identity might be compromised. If you follow that line of reasoning I caught the worlds record Largemouth bass, but I ate it. The proof is the grease in my frying pan.

Think about this for a minute though, What would Obama stand to gain by crowing about if it wasn't true, knowing full well that there's likely to be an Al Qaeda/Teleban back lash that may well be as bad as the original event. Wouldn't be a smart move in my book.
Not to mention the sh*tstorm that would develop if Bin Laden suddenly popped up somewhere large as life.
I don't think theres any question that they got him. The real question is why did they kill an unarmed man instead of capturing him. Given the US's propensity for funding ratbags round the world when it suits their aims, maybe he knew too much and could have be seriously embarrassing to the govt should he be allowed to talk.
Faking it, only to be later found out, would be political suicide in my view.

Well done to all who authorized and participated in "winchesters antidote". Very proffesional, no capture, no trial no body or grave for the wing nuts to rally around.
