The Panetta-picked CIA operative reports back to Panetta, who reports to Obama, who authorizes a kill.
The CIA operative sources a Navy seal team goes in to "search" the compound for Bin Laden. . The CIA operative keeps the rest of the team behind him (or her) finds his target, shoots him in the eye, through the head, destroying his face, then bags him, with the help of the Navy seals. The team kills the rest of the people in the compound in a "firefight."
The team removes the body and returns it to some facility in Islamabad where a helicopter is awaiting to remove the body from Pakistani territory, probably to a US naval vessel.
My point is, it's possible to go that far with only one person actually seeing the target. It's even possible that that person didn't know who he was shooting, that a second party was coordinating the intelligence and the shooter only followed orders. That would mean that no-one could be certain, who actually saw the target and knew who he was, that Bin Laden was the one killed.
So, we have a team that's been in on a kill, that escorted out a body bag. There's a naval vessel where some people collected evidence-- a photo of a face blasted to smithereens, blood samples, maybe an X-ray, CAT scan or MRI.
I'm sorry. There's nothing like the real evidence, the body, to prove someone is dead, particularly a mysterious, mythic person like Bin Laden. Imagine if someone, some team reported that they'd captured and killed the Loch Ness monster, then dumped it at sea. Right.
Brian Ross, of ABC says that he was buried at sea to prevent the creation of a burial site where he would become a martyr, and the grave a shrine. Really, if they can keep over 100 live prisoners in Guantanamo, why not keep a body?
This story reeks of possible smoke and mirrors suspiciousness.
