If he isn't really dead then it would be easy for Bin Laden to release another of his tapes and prove that he is still alive. The President would look awfully foolish. Given the vicious attacks that he's withstood the past 2 years I find it hard to believe that he would announce that Bin Laden is dead without knowing for certain that he is dead. If it was my decision, I'd dump the body at sea and not release any evidence. A grave site would become a mecca. Photos an rallying cry. No need to risk making him more of a martyr.
