Interesting they buried him at sea and released no images as yet... Perhaps he has been a myth all along?

It was a photo-shopped fake. TV3 made a retraction statement this evening.

The US used multiple means to confirm the identity of bin Laden during and after the firefight in which he was killed, before placing his body in the North Arabian Sea from aboard a US aircraft carrier, senior US officials said overnight.

The al Qaeda leader was identified by name by a woman believed to be one of his wives - bin Laden had several - who was present at his Pakistan compound at the time of the US raid.
He also was visually identified by members of the US raid squad, a senior intelligence official told reporters at a Pentagon briefing. Under ground rules set by the Pentagon, the intelligence official and two senior defence officials could not be identified by name.

Hardly convincing?

Woman: "Yeah that's Bin Laden, I'm his wife"

GI Joe 1: "Well it looks like him"

*BANG BANG BANG*

GI Joe 2: "Yeah, well, it must be him...and we killed him! WERE GUNNA BE HEROES!"
