They chucked him into the sea so that his grave couldn’t be used as a shrine/radical muzzie rallying point.
They did it quickly (within 24 hours) to try and keep those same radical muzzies from rioting because his body was mishandled and his religion disrespected.
I actually think they handled it quite well - perfunctory Muslim ceremony just to keep the peace and protect our guys deployed in the M.E, then chucked him off the fantail with the lettuce trimmings and chicken bones.

I didn’t ask about OBL’s body. I asked about the other bodies. Were they given a proper Muslim burial?
