Burial at sea is the right thing to do to avoid creating a shrine or pilgrimage site. That is why the site of Hitler's death (The Soviets scattered his ashes in a secret location) and the Hitler bunker are paved over as a parking lot and residential complex in Germany with absolutely no indication that anything was there so that it doesn't become a shrine.
Doing anything else just endangers Americans as it could incite more anger.
What the US needs to do is to release photos of the body however. We got photos of Saddam and his sons. Why not Osama?
