No More Bin Laden

[Lissa]

Question from an outsider:

It's a sad state of affairs when our cynicism has reached such a heinous level that we don't trust the news stories out of the US anymore. For me personally, I fully believe that US marines shot and killed Osama Bin Laden and put his remains to rest at sea. Here comes the question: How do Americans view the speed with which this ceremony has been undertaken? What we read on the intarwebs, and what is being insinuated from politicians and media this side of the pond, is that the US should publish the photos of a dead Bin Laden in order to assuage people's fears that this is indeed NOT a criminal conspiracy. The people vocal in this matter are NOT of the breed of insane conspiracy theorists who claimed GWB to be responsible for attacking the WTC, but people who - over the years - have developed a level of cynicism that makes it very difficult for them to accept the claim that Osama Bin Laden has been caught and killed, especially without any evidence.

Osama's swift burial at sea - problematic or honoriffic?

What I can't believe is people aren't believing Al'Qeda (or however it's spelled). The fact that the US and OBL's own organization are both saying he's dead should tell everyone that he's dead. Why would A'Q and US be conspiring together for something like that?
