I think there's a message to this burial at sea. Nothing about this operation was by accident. Islamic tradition says you can be buried at sea only if you died at sea and are too far from land to make it back in 24 hrs. They could have stuck him in an unmarked grave on some nameless island, and called it good. There was plenty of time to plan for that.
OBL was not a Muslim leader, as the President said last night, and he profaned the message of Islam. His followers who saw him as a religious leader embraced a false prophet. This burial may offend some Muslims, but had the US followed the proper custom it would have sent a message of honor, and that would have offended most of the world.
