Why makes his dead body so special that it cannot be viewed on national television if they even have one

I love they are saying he was buried at sea. After the souvenirs were carved off the headless torso wouldn't have been much to bury.

Whilie I can definitely see why there was no option but to kill the guy after he was portrayed as number 1 terrorist in the world, the whole notion of making terror suspects this notorious seems to create more problems than it solves. I am not glad that he is dead, I would rather he had been put on trial for his actions even while I know that was never going to happen. I don't think this 'solves' any problems and nor do I see any instant troop withdrawal from Afghanistan in the wake of this; it's not as if the terrorists are going to suddenly decide that as a result of this death their cause was lame and they'll all shuffle off home and be 'good' people now. Indeed, the opposite is probably true, it will fuel the extremists who use the US as an excuse for their home grown problems and poverty. So, no, I am not rejoicing that he is dead.

I'm glad i'm not the only one thinking about the side effects of this action. While i am happy for his death(never thought i'd ever say something so horrible)and i'm sure a lot of 9/11 families got some type of closure with his death, we have to be prepared for what's going to happen next.

He has been in pakistan for 6 years and no gov officials from pakistan knew about it? The US funded this country with billions of dollars...and for what?? This is a clear example that US should not trust anyone, and maybe the leaders of this country should turn around and start for once stop donating money left and right to countries that don;t even appreciate it, and start focusing more on it's own peole who so desperatly need the help.

Last time not too long ago, 9 people died because of the quran burning, 9 UN people died!!.No matter WHAT WE DO we are "the infidels", and if they blow us up they get 40 virgins in heaven. OK. ENOUGH SAID! Now you understand why i am scared for what's going to happen??

With more intelligence-driven actions and less brute-force military occupations, we'll see less angry extremists. Common sense 101.

There are terrorists to be concerned about, just as many of us here in the US should be concerned about street violence in our communities.

I find it odd that this is the first thing you want to get out there, for me its more about the families that have suffered and finally getting some justice.

I am glad he is dead. Now sure I wish I could seen him hanged like Saddam but a bullet to the head courtesy of our military will suffice.

Sometimes mechanical problems occur when rounds are introduced.

The helicopter that was used to repel into the compound couldn't develop enough lift to get over the walls, so it had to be abandoned. It didn't crash.

Could be, I've searched a few stories and most say mechanical failure though I question the accuracy of a few of them. One person claims they used CH 47s which seems slightly odd to me.

Bin Laden must have thrown quite a bit of weight on

It was a Blackhawk that was destroyed by setting charges.

ETA: The news briefing on now stated the helicopter was in the wrong place.

Like it landed too close to a building or wall?
