If this turns out to be true...WOW!
Quote: E-mails released by Wikileaks suggest that Osama bin Laden’s body was not immediately buried at sea as U.S. government officials told the public. The communications say that the al-Qaeda leader’s body was allegedly sent to Dover, Del., and then on to Maryland for examination.
Fred Burton, vice president of the American private intelligence firm Stratfor, allegedly wrote to a colleague at 5:51 a.m. on May 2, 2011 – the day bin Laden was killed during a raid on his house in Pakistan - “Body bound for Dover, DE on CIA plane. Than [sic] onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda.”
In an earlier e-mail Burton allegedly wrote, “Reportedly, we took the body with us. Thank goodness,” reports the British newspaper The Telegraph.
But Burton also sent an e-mail later on that day at 3:10 p.m., that confuses the issue.
“Down and dirty done, He already sleeps with the fish…” Burton wrote, according to the Telegraph.
The Atlantic Wire calls the Wikileaks scoop "awfully thin," saying "There are so many dubious aspects of this story it's hard to know where to begin."
There was much controversy when President Obama announced that the body of bin Laden had been buried at sea to keep the burial within the 24-hour tradition of the Muslim faith.
More questions and suspicions came from the public when the administration decided not to release a photo of the body as proof that bin Laden was indeed dead.....
