The body

should be returned to Saudi Arabia. How they deal with it could speak volumes about how the Saudis view their place in the world community.

1. Interesting idea. nt

[Paradoxical]

2. No. Fuck that. His body belongs to us now.

[tekisui]

5. Ew. I don't want it.

[Paradoxical]

11. I was planning on using your freezer. But I guess you're not patriotic enough.

12. I don't much care about us keeping the body. Once they make

the positive ID and get the evidence or whatever else they need from the body... what do we need the body for?

It may, however, be some kind of bargaining chip... I wonder what it's worth to the Saudis?

[tekisui]

3. I tend to agree. It could go far in goodwill.

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. No. Put it in the Smithsonian.

[BeyondGeography]

6. The body will be photographed and cremated

By us.

7. I heard burial at sea will be what happens - fed to the fishes - to keep his grave from becoming

a shrine or something.

[Renew Deal]

9. They will poison the sea.

8. do you think they want him?

He was enemy to the state government there too.

10. The disposition of the body had better be done very carefully.

Islamic practice is to bury a dead body as soon as possible within 24 hours after death. Having OBL's body "in U.S. custody" seems to me to be a very dangerous matter.

13. If the body were sent back it would be used as a sympathy tool for recruiting

more terrorists. Deny his followers an opportunity to display his "martyred" body at a mega memorial service. Some families of 9/11 victims were denied their loved ones' bodies for proper burials.

14. We should put it on the Moon.

The far side.


You want it back? Go get it.
