So only OBL deserved the 24-hour burial?

Interesting...

I don't think that was the case at all. I think the more exact answer is that OBL's body had to go back to the Vinson where they could do a detailed corroboration of his identity by DNA analysis and other means. There would have been no pressing need to identify the others. Also, don't forget, one of the Blackhawks had been damaged and had to be left behind. With the consequent crowding on the remaining aircraft, there may not have been room for the other bodies, even if they had wanted to take them. I think it was safe for them to assume, with all of the gunfire and the explosion of the damaged Blackhawk, that the Pakistanis were going to be all over that compound and would do whatever needed to be done with the other bodies.
