WASHINGTON – A U.S. official says Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea.

After bin Laden was killed in a raid by U.S. forces in Pakistan, senior administration officials said the body would be handled according to Islamic practice and tradition. That practice calls for the body to be buried within 24 hours, the official said. Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult, the official said. So the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.

The official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, did not immediately say where that occurred. Subscribe to *Humor-Weird News*

the U.S. decided to bury him at sea.

Like Megatron in the "Transformers" movie? A C-Span caller mentioned that today as a similarity with this news about Bin Laden but I haven't seen the movie.

Maine Sen. Susan Collins came on soon after and started moronically yammering about homegrown terrorism here in retaliation over Bin Laden being killed, like Americans are al Qaeda. Obama made some short, strange speech prior that sounded like he was talking about the "Bonanza" series -- mentioned somebody named Hoss Cartwright.

In the aftermath of the battle in Mission City, Sector Seven hauled away Megatron's corpse along with the other Decepticon bodies. The clandestine human organisation brought the bodies to a secret facility in the Nevada desert, with the intention of getting every bit of information they can out of the dead Decepticons before they were forced to dump them into the sea. When he arrived to oversee the burial of those who fell in Mission City, Optimus Prime noticed the surviving AllSpark fragment glowed when near Megatron's body, and gave it to Professor Vine for safekeeping. Weeks later, Megatron, along with Blackout, was dumped into the Laurentian Abyss.

Not a trench, but more of an "underwater valley": second deepest part of the Earth's ocean...second only to Challenger Deep [Marianis Islands area]..."Laurentian Abyss" sounds more sci-fi menacing than "Marianas Trench"...The Laurentian Abyss was the covert rendezvous point for Soviet and American submarines in the 1990 technothriller film The Hunt for Red October. The location, however, was a departure from the book, and was not used in the original 1984 novel by Tom Clancy.

Watch Obama Chuckle at Osama Joke the Day Before His Death [Video]: the dinner’s featured speaker, [sic] was Seth Meyers, head writer for Saturday Night Live.

During a segment of Meyers’ speech, he took the time to make fun of CSPAN as a channel that no one ever watches. This was a rather apt observation, because I recognize CSPAN as part of the 20-channel buffer between network TV and TBS, sandwiched between local access stations.

I’m also honored to be performing for those you tonight as well as the handful of people watching at home on CSPAN. CSPAN is of course the official network for wide shots of empty chairs. Every time I tune into CSPAN it looks like they just had a fire drill. CSPAN is one unpaid electric bill away from being a radio station. People think Bin Laden is hiding out out in the Hindu Kush, but did you know that everyday from 4-5 he hosts a show on CSPAN? I’m not complaining about CSPAN mind you, I usually work on NBC so I’m thrilled to be on a network that people actually watch.

When the camera pans over to Obama after the Osama joke, the president lets out a bountiful chuckle at Meyers’ joke. Looking back, it seems Obama might have laughed a little too hard. Since we now know that Obama had already given given the order to kill the leader of al-Qaeda. Imagine what was going through his mind? Was he laughing at the joke, or the irony?

Al- Qaeda Terror Threat Remains, U.S. Warns

Tuesday, May 3, 2011

Officials and lawmakers in Washington warned on Monday that killing Osama bin Laden has not eliminated the threat posed by his al-Qaeda terrorist network or by radicalized individuals (see GSN, May 2).

"Though bin Laden is dead, al-Qaeda is not," CIA head Leon Panetta said. "The terrorists almost certainly will attempt to avenge him, and we must -- and will -- remain vigilant and resolute. But we have struck a heavy blow against the enemy," ABC News reported.

Bin Laden was killed by a gunshot to the head on Sunday when elite U.S. Navy SEALs raided his hideout in the Abbottabad Valley of Pakistan.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) said he was worried about the possibility of an isolated individual mounting a revenge attack.

"My own great concern in the days ahead is that a so-called 'lone wolf,' a single individual who has been radicalized, will now mobilize himself or herself to take action here at home against the American people," the lawmaker said.

The top Republican on the committee echoed those fears.

"One of the concerns that I most have is that a homegrown terrorist will choose this moment to strike in an attempt to retaliate for Osama bin Laden's death," said Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine).
