Buried at sea? Who made the decision to do that and why? That really ticks me off!

Our Government did it to prevent his family from burying him and creating a shrine around the burial site. (Fox is reporting this)
OBL’s oldest and closest brother already is making demands that government turn OBL’s body over to them so that “he can be buried with his own”. (this was on CNN this morning)

Buried at sea? Who made the decision to do that and why? The regime decided it would be just "too difficult" to find any country to take the body. By Islamic custom he had to be buried within 24 hrs and that was the directive.
Islam allows burials at sea in select circumstances including if there's risk an enemy may dig the body up.
That really ticks me off!
I'm sure you're not alone! We'll only have the regime's "so say." Imagine if this had been under W's watch. No one on the Left or press would accept that.

Buried at sea?To those who fail to study history or don't care, this was the genius part of the entire operation. One wants not one thread of anything of Osama Bin Laden for muslims to enshrine, worship or hold up in honor. The body is simply gone. No shrine can be built anywhere near where it was dropped. Perfect.

MeneMeneTekelUpharsin has it right, it was pure genius to dump him at sea, because there is no possibility for OBL's followers to build a shrine around his grave. It's similar to what the Russians did after getting Hitler's body, they wanted to make damn sure that the Nazis couldn't create a shrine around it, and so they disposed of the body in a way that wouldn't allow for that.
It was a brilliant part of the plan, which makes me think that the idea came from the military rather than the White House.

I heard, the body was burned then released to the sea. This was done so the body could not be retrieved. We did the same to the German leaders after WWII, then released the ashes somewhere along the Rhine River.
