Ok so maybe I missed it...but WHY did they dump Bin Ladens body in the sea so quickly? (health care, military)

So, the military did precisely what you wish: they buried him quietly in an undisclosed location. Done. Glad we agree.
As to your other point - we are a nation beholden to the principles of religious freedom. They are an amorphic, rogue shady collection of groups around the world. We should hold ourselves to a far higher standard, which includes taking small, easy steps to respect religious traditions.
No they didn't. The tried to appease the enemy. Or fool us. Take your pick. He should have been brought here.
I don't do religion. They were taking steps to respect religious tradition for the freedom of religion, nor because we hold ourselves to a higher standard ( which is pretty funny) they did it to either fool us, or appease the enemy and hopefully cushion the blow. It is not going to work, they think they know us better than that. We enter a foreign country, shoot their leader in the head, along with his son and others, take his body and then all of a sudden start respecting their religious rights? No dont think so. My son is in the Army, brother, Marines , Dad and Uncle both navy. My brother has been there in the fighting, knows what they do what they say and how they feel about us. They think something is fishy ( no pun intended), as do I.
I hope they do release the pictures. There's enough evidence from social networks that the conflict happened, but I'm just saying that I don't think seeing pictures will do anything but flame the conspiracy nuts into even crazier ideas.
But in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, the country's highest Islamic body condemned the burial at sea, Agence France-Presse reports.
Rosaleen Tallon, the sister of a New York firefighter who died in the 9/11 attacks, said that the burial at sea "denied people like her the guarantee of seeing a body and knowing without a shadow of a doubt that Bin Laden was dead," the Los Angeles Times reports.
There are many at home and abroad who will not believe a word out of his mouth without concrete proof.
There were people who wouldn't believe a word out of Bush's mouth either. So what? There are radical extremists on both ends of the political spectrum. We don't need to take them seriously or appease their every neurotic impulse of distrust.
You'll get your damned pictures. And then probably start shrieking that they are fakes.
Of course they'll be fakes. Making fun of those who don't fall for the government line won't change the obvious fact that the body was gotten rid of immediately to make sure nobody could prove it WASN'T OBL.
