The point is there should always be a mandate for public confirmation

Politics is so full of twisting truths and sometimes making up lies that i think it's important to keep a least a discernible level of transparency. I don't want names of people, i just want to know what happened and how and i want a shred of proof here and there. Isn't that what being logical and rational is all about?
And your point about Bin Laden's burial being out of respect for muslims is a little off base. I'm muslim, I don't agree with killing innocent people, but i also don't agree with not giving criminals a trial, and giving questionable human beings an ISLAMIC burial. I mean seriously, according to the US, everything Bin Laden has ever done is against Islam and yet they think the average muslim would care if Bin Laden gets an Islamic burial? The only ones who would care are people who were loyal to him. In which case the US is appeasing them at the cost of alienating and enraging the average muslim.

Such as what? Allow everyone the chance to poke the body with a stick? Do everything that the tinfoil hatters like Mikey would have you do to convince them, and have them still leave unconvinced? What more could have been done here? A photo just turns the argument to the legitimacy of the photo. There are going to be doubters no matter what, catering to the stupid is no way to go through life. If there wre legitimate questions and points here it would be a different story, but there aren't. There are stupid points with no basis in reality or consideration of the situation. Why should those be at all entertained?
There has been plenty of transparency here, especially considering the numerous issues at play. Once again, this is not some final end to a campaign. This isn't the death of Hitler. This is just one part of an ongoing battle, and there are still considerations that have to be made in that realm.
