The body of Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was not buried at sea, according to leaked emails of intelligence firm Stratfor, as revealed by WikiLeaks.
Stratfor’s vice-president for intelligence, Fred Burton, believes the body was “bound for Dover, [Delaware] on [a] CIA plane” and then “onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda [Maryland],” an email says.
The official version is that the body of Al-Qaeda’s top man, who was killed by a US raid in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, was buried at an undisclosed location at sea in a proper Muslim ceremony.
“If body dumped at sea, which I doubt, the touch is very Adolph Eichman like. The Tribe did the same thing with the Nazi’s ashes,” Burton commented in another email. Eichman was one of the masterminds of the Holocaust by Nazi Germany. He was captured by Mossad agents in Argentina and, tried in Israel, found guilty and executed in 1962. His body was cremated and his ashes were scattered at sea over the Mediterranean.
“Eichmann was seen alive for many months on trial before being sentenced to death and executed. No one wanted a monument to him so they cremated him. But i dont know anyone who claimed he wasnt eicjhman [sic]. No comparison with suddenly burying him at sea without any chance to view him which i doubt happened [sic],” Stratfor CEO George Friedman replied.
“The US Govt needs to make body pics available like the MX’s do, with OBL’s pants pulled down, to shout down the lunatics like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck,” Burton says in another message.
In another missive Burton says Osama’s body “is a crime scene and I don’t see the FBI nor DOJ letting that happen.”
So what?
@Liberal1 (objectivity): So what? The what is that 0-bama lied again. I know it’s not a big deal and America should get used to him doing this. None the less, just another disgraceful action by our failed President.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t OBL; according Benazir Bhutto, he died in 2007.
If it is OBL, maybe Obama keeps him on ice for a October surprise.
As far as I can tell this is just Burton indicating that he doesn’t believe the official account – there’s no indication that he had real inside information to corroborate his theory.
@Liberal1 (objectivity):
Considering Obama is on the record as lying about raising taxes, this would be another lie. Is this the representation you want? And what does that say about you, who supports a known liar?
Now, what was that you said again?
@cali, technically UBL would have been killed in 2001. Bhutto’s repeating of what’s been said before about UBL’s death was in an interview in 2007, just a few months before her assassination in Pakistan.
It had to be prior to 2002 because she stated that the killer was Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh – the same guy that was in Pakistani custody since Feb 2002, and sentenced to death in July 2002 for the murder of Daniel Pearl. His judicial appeal has been delayed and he remains in Pakistani custody to this day.
Rumors of a relationship with UK’s MI6 as a double agent abound, and that would make sense if someone wants to assume he would have killed UBL. Then, there’s the monkey wrench that his lawyer will be happy to use – KSM’s confession of killing Daniel Pearl.
So, as to whether UBL was killed by a MI6 double agent back in 2001, it’s possible we may never know. For the world’s intents and purpose, he’s certainly “dead” now. I guess it all depends upon who wants to take credit for the AQ leaders death… the UK and a double agent during the Bush years, or Obama during his reign of power.
I would have been happy had they fed his body to pigs, but we can’t always get what we want.
This is probably the one time I could excuse Mr. O for a lie. It’s not exactly information you want the general public to know about. Besides, think about the back-lash our troops could face if they knew they could hold someone ransom to get his body back in return. The again, if we followed through with Hard Right’s idea, we could ship them back the pigs that we feed his body too. I’m sure they’d appreciate that!
@johngalt: Yeah? How and when did Obama raise taxes? Liar.
You guys really need to get a life. Or tin foil hats.
@liberalmann:
Funny you should ask, liberalmann. The following is a list of tax increases Obama has signed into law;
Now, I will kindly ask for a retraction of your accusation that I am a liar. I’ll be waiting patiently.
johngalt, since Aye isn’t around to point out the obvious, I’ll do so on his behalf…..
INRE your response to the dud of a liberal? That’s gonna leave a mark. LOL
@MataHarley:
Not only has Obama raised numerous taxes, but he stated, on the record, that he hasn’t raised taxes.
Politifact.com’s conclusion about Obama’s statement?
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/feb/07/barack-obama/president-barack-obama-says-he-didnt-raise-taxes/
And that’s from politifact.com, hardly a conservative water carrier.
Hmm.. it’s ominously quiet in Liberalchild’s corner. What’s the matter buddy?? You okay??
@Hard Right: #7
What have you got against pigs?
I am going into “neutralist” mode on this story. Doubt arose when I read “Wikileaks.” I am like Johnny Five in the movie “Short Circuit.” “I need input!”
