Really??
You had the option to make a choice and you did.
What makes me skeptical of this story is that our soldiers are not instructed to bury the killed enemy in Muslim tradition. Why start with this ******* bin laden? The criminal who was responsible for 3000 deaths, the idiot who incited suicide bombers, et al... yet we want to make sure to bury him in accordance with Muslim tradition? Doesn't pass the common sense test.
ARgument from ignorance noted. And argument from incredulity.
They took his body to be identified. Now that they have the dead body, what are they supposed to do with it?
Do they piss on it, **** on it, put a ham sandwich in his mouth and a israeli flag around his shoulders and light it on fire?
Do you have ANY IDEA what that would cause?
So lets say they didn't do any of that. But just tipped it over the side of a ship. Maybe pissed off the decks on it.

They killed him. They took him to be identified. Now what can they do that won't cause a BIGGER incident? Oh look. If you wash the body, clean it up, wrap it in a white sheet and then say the proper prayer, you can drop him in the ocean. No fuss. No Muss. No BIG issues.
ETA: You should also look at it from another perspective. By giving him the "proper" rites, they then dropped him over the side of a ship... just like they do with all the rest of the trash (IMHO). This is different from how US servicemen are buried at sea. I personally LOVE the message. He isn't even worth a headstone. Or a grave marker.
