Bin Laden

[Slick Fork]

I was surprised to read that this was a locate and kill operation as opposed to a locate and capture. I would have thought the US gov't would have been very interested in a very public trial and execution/lifetime incarceration.

I don't think bringing the body back to the states and parading it around Washington DC would have provided any more proof than what they already have. I can see them not wanting a physical grave for fundamentalists to turn into a shrine or monument and dumping the body at sea solves that problem.
