"A U.S. official said the burial decision was made after concluding that it would have been difficult to find a country willing to accept the remains. There was also speculation about worry that a grave site could have become a rallying point for militants."

So, you're saying we could have buried him whereever we wanted, and then waited and just taken out the militants that came to rally at his grave?

I'm thinking, "DOH!!!" Opportunity missed!
