From May 2nd, 2011:
The Guardian:
"Senior US officials initially told news agencies that his body would be disposed of in accordance with Islamic tradition, which involves ritual washing, shrouding and burial within 24 hours."
Time Newsfeed:
"The reason is bound up within Islamic practice and tradition. And that practice calls for the body of the deceased to be buried within 24 hours, according to a U.S. official, who spoke on Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters."
Politico:
"Peter Bergen, a national security analyst, predicted on CNN that bin Laden's face will be shown because of visual evidence that must be displayed. He also noted that Islamic law calls for bodies to be buried within 24 hours of death. In Islam, the body has to be buried in 24 hours," Bergen said. "That will happen."
All that; and yet the nobama admin has now violated Islamic practice and tradition with the Boston bomber's piece of shit body, making us all less safe again. Business as usual!
