So this is something else Obama is lying about? ; - ) Seriously though, if we didn't respect Isalmic tradition I'd rather we not pay it lip service as if we had. But do we know he was dumped from a helicopter and not from a ship? Isn't it possible that they got him back on board a ship, examined the body, took dna samples, (a bit cleaner environment than in the field or on the helicopter to minimize contamination), had a muslim chaplain prepare the body and even perform a perfunctory service before the body was put overboard? Burials at sea in the naval tradition are very respectful. So I'm not sure why the assumption is that this wasn't respectfully done, even if radical Lebanese clerics aren't happy about it, (what are the odds that anything we did would have satisfied them).
