This entire story doesn't pass the "smell test"!

There is indeed a very strong smell of rotten fish, not just "fishy". Uncle Osama might be sitting pretty in a cave laughing his turban off. I think this is just another ploy by Obama to gain popularity. (comment from South Africa) 156.8.251.250 (talk) 14:14, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Surely this would be a very transparent ploy if bin Laden turned up on YouTube with a copy of todays newspaper; I don't think that conspiracy theories are going to be needed here. The DNA evidence probably sin't actually conclusively verified yet, I doubt it can be done so rapidly, although this is a special case. The very rapid burial at sea was probably to avoid hoards of people coming to either a burial site or storage facitlity to sing his praises or piss on it and cause a massive riot.

The newspapers are all in with Obama anyway, so I bet that wouldn't prove anything.
