The 'tell' was when the media insisted that burial at sea is a common Muslim custom.
I don’t really dwell on it. That’s just how I feel. If it was President Bush and the circumstances were exactly the same, you know the media would have demanded proof. I don’t like getting into discussions with family and friends about it because they are quick to write you off as a conspiracy theorist — which I’m not.
“The whole burial at sea is ridiculous.
The ‘tell’ was when the media insisted that burial at sea is a common Muslim custom. “
Memory might be fuzzy, but seem to recall ‘...buried at sea with appropriate muslim rites...’
The idea of burial at sea would have been, if all things are equal and true, a hedge against the body being dug up and paraded as martyr icon.
All for our convenience, not a “common muslim custom.”
YMMV
