They should have hung him by the neck from the edge of the flight deck so his body was juuuuuust submerged and trolled for sharks.

Thumbs up to that idea. Add bacon to the body and pig’s blood as chum. Here, sharky, sharky!

Unless the deceased is female - then it a shallow unmarked grave in the desert sands...

Their retort (as were the anti-American professors) is that “those who died on 9-11 weren’t really “innocent”.

Atta had a list of dos and don’ts for handing his remains and I doubt we cared to follow his wishes (no woman handling the body, etc.).

I guess he deserved it. He was the archetypal Muslim wasn’t he?

Yeah, I’ve seen plenty of idiotic posts from you too liberal. You’re not fooling anyone with your Islamic sympathies. You always seem to be on the side of those who hate this country from the other posts I have read of yours.

I don’t have to wear a military uniform to have love for my country. If you ever wore one I wonder why you seem to show so much love for our enemies.

I bet you voted for Obama and will again in 2012.

MSNBC reports:
CNN's Nick Paton Walsh reports, citing a senior Pakistani intelligence official, that members of Pakistan's intelligence service - the ISI - were on site in Abbotabad, Pakistan, during the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. The official said he did not know who fired the shot that actually killed Bin Laden.
Left unspecified was whether the ISI people came in with the seals, or were already in the compound as part of Osama's security element.

I hope they wrapped it in a sack of pig guts as was customary... Oh you want to know customary to WHOM? Why to none other than “General Black Jack Pershing” — or so says the legend on his expedition to quell a Muslim uprising in the Phillippines. I don’t care if it’s true or not. I like the concept. In any case, the Phillippines were calm for a good 50 years following... again, I don’t care if THAT is true or not, it makes great supporting evidence. LOL
