As much as it makes me sick that Usama bin Laden is being shown any respect, there might be an immediate need to stop a Jihadist retaliation on the US for Usama’s death. (By the way, didn’t media used to spell his name Osama? What gives with the sudden respelling??) Maybe reporting that the US is showing respect to Islam tradition is a way to win them over (but behind the scenes they are kicking his corpse).

I do not believe there is any way to influence what those insane maniacs do.

Whether we choose to respect or disrespect OBL's carcass, the Muslims will do what they always do -- riot, shoot, kill, etc. -- regardless.

Our decision should be based on what WE think is best, not on what the Muslim reaction might be.

The spelling of his name was a long-running controversy. Right after 9/11, FoxNews used "Usama" and the rest "Osama".

At any rate, the murderous SOB finally got his comeuppance.

We do need to see photographic evidence, however. This Administration has not proven itself trustworthy on other matters.

Osama is the Jordanian spelling, I’m not sure what Usama is.

Fox News has been spelling Osama's name with a U since day one, but as far as I know, they're the only news outlet that did.

I never did understand why they spelled it that way.
