There is no headstone marking the grave terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. Rather than be buried in the ground, the bodies of al Qaeda boss was thrown from the USS Carl Vinson to the Arabian Sea.
United States have a reason why drowned corpse of Osama: no country that receives the body and how it did not violate Islamic law. However, many parties also protested in this way. U.S. is considered excessive.
U.S. President, Barack Obama finally spoke up. According to him, the decision Osama buried at sea is a respectful and appropriate manner, in contrast to the behavior of bin Laden who is believed to be the brains behind the terror attacks 9 September 2001.
"Honestly, we are more concerned with this - from the (relative) when bin Laden killed 3,000 people in the spirit of terror 9/11. She did not care how victims are treated and deprived of his life. It shows we are different (with Osama). We think we have to handle it fairly, "said Obama, like dimiat CBS News, Friday, May 6, 2011.
Obama delivered a statement in the interview program '60 Minutes' that will be aired this Sunday, May 8, 2011.
As host, Steve Kroft asked him if he decided to join Osama's body sinking into the sea, Obama replied, "It is a joint decision. We think it is important to consider how we treat the body if bin Laden were killed in the raid."
Obama said, related to the decision, it had consulted with Muslim jurists to find something worthy, to respect the dead.
Meanwhile, although the meeting decided to keep the body images of Osama, Obama claimed, see pictures of her body. "That's right Osama," he said. Not only on the basis of photographs, the certainty that Osama bin Laden was dead also obtained from DNA testing.
Obama explained the decision not to publish pictures of Osama, have a good reason. He said, is very important for the U.S. to ensure that Osama photos shot in the head is not used to incite and become a propaganda tool that the edges are creating new violence.
"That's not our way. We're not going to treat it (photo) as a trophy of victory," Obama said. Most important, he added, is justice for someone who is worthy of punishment.
What if there are other parties who assess these tricks and lies of Obama. That bin Laden was not dead?
"We monitor the reaction of the world. (Sure), there's no doubt that bin Laden had been killed. Nor is there any doubt among members of Al Qaeda that he was dead," said Obama.
Presence or absence of the image, will not be affected. "Of course there are some who would deny it. However, this fact, you will no longer see bin Laden walking on this earth."
