And now we have the news that a stealthy chopper was used.
Disposal of the body - the U.S. is in a no-win situation.
Keep the corpse, display it, allow everyone (including Muslim doctors) to inspect it...
"The U.S. is insulting Islam! They are abusing the body! He must be buried within 24 hours facing Mecca."
Dispose of the corpse by burial at sea...
"The whole thing was faked! Where's the proof? OBL is living in a suburb of Washington!"
Display gruesome death photos...
"They are mocking him! This is disrespectful!"
and of course, inevitably...
"It's a PHOTOSHOP!!"
Why are you toggling between two extremes? Here is what they could have done..
Display his dead body to neutral representatives (China, Russia, UN) along with a section of Pakistani representatives for confirmation.. and then they could have “buried him in sea”

We are still waiting for leaked proofs of 9/11, which have not yet received any convenient time.. though during this time two countries were destroyed and two nations shattered.. hundreds of thousands were killed and millions lost their houses and became refugees or are living well below poverty line..

But eventually cooperation will continue... there's too much to lose otherwise.
None of the rallies held more than 200 people.. out of 180 million.. you do the maths..

There is so much more to comment on, but this is already too long. I'm just glad he's dead.
It is a drama! A conspiracy! And No. Bush wouldn’t do that.. US wanted to hold “strategically strong” area of Afghanistan to keep an eye on China and other “nuclear” powers.. Announcing his death wouldn’t give any benefit.. a tape cannot come out because they killed him looonggg time ago so no risk of “looking astoundingly foolish”..
And for the record.. I’m HAPPY that he died.. Good Riddance
