@KF while it is odd, there are a couple of reasons. Like the Russians with Hitler's body, the US didn't want to bury his body and let the grave become a pilgrimage site. Also they wanted to conform to Islamic law and bury him within 24 hours. Various, shall we say OBL sympathetic websites, have basically confirmed his death by promising reprisals etc.

I just want to know why they gave him a burial at sea! They have been looking for this guy for almost a decade, they final get him & throw his body in the ocean WTF!! Sounds suspicious to me!!!!

Because now there is no shrine for people to go and pray or worship him over. Hew is probably now in some random part of the ocean and the other part of him is fish[censored]. It's perfectly logical why they would do that.

Knight and lord - the excuse is that islamic law needs them to be buried in 24 hours, i also think there is something fishy about his body be disposed so quickly under da sea.

I reckon they got the bugger alive and are gonna torture him.

Did obama really kick the door like that???

@ ded
i dont know but if he did i like him even more
as to the burial why the hell would they care bout his custom hes the devil himself to the us i thought they would stick his head on a pike and parade him through times square

That could have been one of OBL doubles! Saddam Hussein had doubles back in the day!

@DP They should have brought the body back to the US & confirmed that it was OBL! Then they could have thrown his body in the ocean!

@Lord because to disrespect him to that extent would've been seen as an insult to all Muslims. The US has to show that they respect muslims and their religion while not respecting individuals who target them.

@KF they don't need to take the body back to the US, they just needed DNA samples as well as pictures and measurements for biometric confirmation.

@ maguis
so where is the pics?

the dna they took was a 99.9% match.
this wholse saga is like a season of 24

@ ded
i agree but i dont believe in here-say if the us suddenly anounce the existence of aliens i would believe it till i see some form of proof

@Maguis Call me old fashioned, but I wana see a body!

@Lord probably classified and locked in a vault somewhere. I highly doubt that they will release them any time soon, again to avoid accusations of disrespect.

Sony hacked again!

http://www.lazygamer.net/sony-hacked-again/

It’s just not getting any better for Sony, is it? Just as everybody was coming to terms with Sony having lost their personal data, news comes in of another hack on Sony’s networks – this time affecting Sony Online Entertainment, the publishing division responsible for maintaining Sony’s numerous MMO’s, like EverQuest, EverQuest II, Free Realms, and DC Universe Online.

SOE’s services have been taken offline as a counter-measure, but it may be too late. 24.6 million Sony Online Entertainment users could have been compromised – and along with them more than 20,000 credit card and bank account numbers. Here’s what Sony had to say :

Our ongoing investigation of illegal intrusions into Sony Online Entertainment systems has discovered that hackers may have obtained personal customer information from SOE systems. We are today advising you that the personal information you provided us in connection with your SOE account may have been stolen in a cyber-attack. Stolen information includes, to the extent you provided it to us, the following: name, address (city, state, zip, country), email address, gender, birthdate, phone number, login name and hashed password.

This is really starting to become embarrassing for Sony. Should they not have bolstered SOE’s security at the first sign of PSN intrusion? In hindsight, I’d say that that would be a great big hell yes. It’s becoming increasingly apparent that it’s likely not Anonymous to blame for these hacks; they’re far too organised. It’s unlikely that this second intrusion, with its unfortunate timing, isn’t connected to PSN’s downtime.

At the time of writing, the PSN is still down – but affected users will be getting a few freebies thrown their way as a gesture of goodwill when the service resumes this week.

Snippet:

* Sony has been the victim of a very carefully planned, very professional, highly sophisticated criminal cyber attack.
* We discovered that the intruders had planted a file on one of our Sony Online Entertainment servers named “Anonymous” with the words “We are Legion.”

Apparently Anonymous are still denying it was them
