The body of Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was not buried at sea, according to leaked emails of intelligence firm Stratfor, as revealed by WikiLeaks.

Stratfor?s vice-president for intelligence, Fred Burton, believes the body was ?bound for Dover, [Delaware] on [a] CIA plane? and then ?onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda [Maryland],? an email says.

The official version is that the body of Al-Qaeda?s top man, who was killed by a US raid in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, was buried at an undisclosed location at sea in a proper Muslim ceremony.

"If body dumped at sea, which I doubt, the touch is very Adolph Eichman like. The Tribe did the same thing with the Nazi's ashes," Burton commented in another email. Eichman was one of the masterminds of the Holocaust by Nazi Germany. He was captured by Mossad agents in Argentina and, tried in Israel, found guilty and executed in 1962. His body was cremated and his ashes were scattered at sea over the Mediterranean.

"Eichmann was seen alive for many months on trial before being sentenced to death and executed. No one wanted a monument to him so they cremated him. But i dont know anyone who claimed he wasnt eicjhman [sic]. No comparison with suddenly burying him at sea without any chance to view him which i doubt happened [sic]," Stratfor CEO George Friedman replied.

"The US Govt needs to make body pics available like the MX's do, with OBL's pants pulled down, to shout down the lunatics like Alex Jones and Glenn Beck," Burton says in another message.

In another missive Burton says Osama?s body ?is a crime scene and I don?t see the FBI nor DOJ letting that happen.?

WikiLeaks began publishing Stratfor emails in late February. The archive was obtained by the hacker group Anonymous, which successfully attacked one of the firm?s servers. More than 5 million emails were apparently stolen.

Stratfor is a US-based intelligence firm called the ?shadow CIA? by some media. Among its clients are several US agencies and many big companies. The company relies on paid tips from informants placed in high circles of business, government and security all around the world.

if they said he was alive, imagine how many Muslims would be taking buildings and people hostage demanding his release? it would be a daily thing...

Do you know why? It would be because of who he was "trying" to become and/or act like according to their belief. He was not alone in this thinking, just look how large that black turban army has become in a short time. Just think, if he had/has a body double or a twin, what could happen from something like that.

No "Muslims" would be "taking buildings" you moron, terrorists would. Adolf Hitler was raised a catholic, does that mean all catholics are monsters? No. Get a life and a sense of perspective ffs

Nowhere did he say that all Muslims are monsters.

It is a fair assumption, having such a high profile prisoner would surely attract others to commit crimes against the US to secure his release, just as it is plausible that AQ will "retaliate" by attacking the US again, but without leadership it would be kind of difficult.

You, sir, need to get a life. You made something out of nothing, maybe you secretly hate Muslims ? :)

not all Muslims are terrorists, but 99% of terrorists are Muslims and there are ALOT of terrorists. ;) FACT

Bahaha! How ridiculous. We'll just ignore the IRA, The Communist Party of India, Shining Path, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia...yeah, that's a real fact you have there...

  • Like 1

oh good gawd... might want to FACT check there

IRA is gone, you are living in the 90's. Just in the US alone: Muslims represent less than 1 percent of the American population, they constitute more than 80 percent of all US terror convictions.

Look in the middle east alone and the stats are for more staggering. If you look at Europe alone it may not seem overly accurate, but take the world as a whole. Then do the math.

Actually, the point I think he was trying to make is that using the word "Muslims" instead of the correct term "Terrorists", or "al-Qaeda" to be more precise, is a popular misnomer that shouldn't be used. But then rippleman pretty much doubled-down on his generalized statement with a follow-up post, so it's hard to say that the response "made something out of nothing".

Back on topic: I wouldn't be surprised if the burial at sea was staged, but I personally have no doubt that the man is in fact dead.

hate false pretense, hate all religion equally. Christians you can put up with since they don't want to harm my kids because they are unbelievers. Just like some Muslims, they can be the best of people. Its like mob-mentatily, individuality they are awesome people, but as a group their individualness disappears and they become a collective with only 1 intention.

Well I just can't imagine a scene where a Christian terrorist demands the release of OBL.

Terrorists don't have a union, Muslim Terrorists hate Christian Terrorists.

So, OBL being a Muslim, it's fair to say Muslims, as saying "Terrorists" is also a "general" term.

Also, yeah, AQ would have been better, but oh well.

IRA is gone, you are living in the 90's. Just in the US alone: Muslims represent less than 1 percent of the American population, they constitute more than 80 percent of all US terror convictions.

You went against what you said in your second sentence with what you said in your first sentence. Muslim's account for 80% of all US terror convictions. I don't know where your source for that is, but I'll just accept it for the moment. However, what you're not doing is appreciating the fact that there are countries other than the US who have their own terrorists. I'll agree that the IRA is gone, and PIRA disarmed back in 2005. But there are still many more terrorist organisations in the world, and they are not Muslim.

The basis of this argument is because of your original statement: "how many Muslims would be taking buildings and people hostage demanding his release?" You could have said, "terrorists" but chose "Muslims" instead. While terrorists that might take buildings demanding his release may be of the Muslim faith, your phrasing of the sentence makes it seem like you think that all Muslims are terrorists, which simply isn't true.

And finally, your quoting of the "Muslim theme song" as you phrase it (which again, is just wrong) is just as pointless as Christian zealots quoting scripture in order to go against gay marriage and the like. It's an interpretation of scripture, and while some may imagine it to mean, "let's have a jolly old holy war against the heretics" there is the majority who look at the overall picture of the faith's message: Do no harm, be kind to your brother and you will live eternally with God.

rt.com? No thanks. I'd rather be brainwashed by my own media.

Besides, the whole article is based on one man's, Fred Burton, opinions.

And it's not like RT wouldn't like to make the US look bad.

Much ado about nothing. I frankly don't care if Obama is using OBL's body for pin the tail on the donkey. As long as OBL is dead. :rofl:

Let me be clear at the start, I usually do not answer comments like these because I do not have the time to start a discussion which does not mean anything to me but this is ridiculous

not all Muslims are terrorists, but 99% of terrorists are Muslims and there are ALOT of terrorists. ;) FACT

Before making FACTS out of your behind have a look at FBI report here or RAND report here

Even CNN report from 2010 here, that builds on the study carried out by researchers at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who incidently do not say FACT after their study

On top of all this you are providing wrong translation of Surah 48 verse 29 which is

Muhammad is the apostle of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other.

Also in Surah 9 verse 73 the agreed upon translation is

O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them.

Again quote as "you" want it to be, but atleast get your FACTS straight before saying anything

On top of all this, glad he is dead whether at sea or in a laboratory

:argh:

Seriously dude, you just lost all your credibility.

When I tell you to backup your comments, you don't. Instead you just keep on going around and around it, and don't back your comments.

All you come up with are these Ayahs? Huh. You don't even know what the issue is being discussed in that chapter. You just selected them from random Islam-hatred sites and posted them, knowing absolutely knothing, abso-freakin'-lutely nothing about them

You just lost all your credibility.

Enjoy

Edit:

Looks like the translation from those Islam-hatred sites didn't go very well.

    • Yup, that's a doozy right there 😄
    • It's a bundle of tools created by a variety of people, so things can go wrong sometimes. It's a great addition to Windows, and I use a lot of the tools on a daily basis. Also, it's still a 0.**** release so quick updates are to be expected 😉
    • Oh, I did. And it's even worse than I was hoping! Besides a lot of techno-babble jargon (yes I understand 100% of it but it's still all just techno-babble) there's 2 key points that make me super-weary about even considering testing this out. -- By default, after installation, a relay is automatically set up, so you do not need to care about that. * Non-chatmail apps use email servers as a long-term message archive while chatmail clients use email servers for ephemeral instant message relay. * Supporting the full variety of classic email setups would require considerable development and maintenance efforts, and complicate making chatmail-based messaging more resilient, reliable and fast. -- Basically, the end-user device is the 'server' (relay) so there is NO ARCHIVING whatsoever because every message is necessarily ephemeral. Great for techno-paranoia (and for illicit activities preferring no tracks to cover) but terrible for everybody else. It's also ironically contradictory to engineering principles of redundancies besides the transport layers due to the explicit absence of any persistent storage. Instead of 'classic email address' retaining multi-GB messaging archives on its server, now every device must retain 100% of those storage demands. (Email messages were originally meant to be short correspondences, not the multi-MB attachments boondoggle that now exists with unlimited spam engines flooding every potential recipient.) Any device swap or reset (or loss) makes the entire message history go bye-bye forever... lest there's an off-device auto-archival "relay" mechanism that's really a separate server that holds onto all transported messages (an email server) that utilizes 'chatmail email address' identities (like an email server) and its own persistent storage archive (like an email server). But... this solution is hoping to exist alongside real-world email address identities (based on the email server relay pathway) but simply render messages in chat thread format in an ephemeral manner (with contents being encrypted, and messages auto-expiring) ... In the end, it's a chat app/experience for the Web3/P2P-at-all-costs zealots. (I have accts on all sorts of federated web3 services so I understand the technical and non-technical alike.) For any practical users, however, it's just another service to download/install, register, cross-share id cards/qr codes, but know that there's no history/archive whatsoever (by design) so no account/message recovery whatsoever... update the device, install a bummed update patch, or dare upgrade your device... all history, poof, gone. Ya gotta start everything over again like they're a brand new person.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG by Paul Hill Over the last decade, it has become quite trendy to dump Google Search in favor of privacy-preserving alternatives such as DuckDuckGo, Startpage, and Brave Search. These search engines have done a very good job at highlighting dodgy practices by Google, such as adjusting search results based on what it thinks you’ll like (filter bubble) and stalking you around the web to advertise to you. While these search engines are good starting points when compared to non-private services like Google, there are still quite a few issues with them. For example, both DuckDuckGo and Brave Search require running non-free JavaScript in your web browser, which is comparable to running proprietary software on your computer, meaning you can be sure about what it’s actually doing in the background. Another issue is that these search engines are hosted on the respective companies’ servers, and you are using a service that you don’t control. Finally, DuckDuckGo, while offering privacy features, relies heavily on Microsoft’s infrastructure for its results and, in the past, has permitted Microsoft tracking scripts. If you are looking for a more private search solution than DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, and Startpage, then I recommend taking a look at SearXNG. It is a privacy-respecting metasearch engine that can be used via different public instances, which is useful for mobile users, or you can install it on your computer or server and run it locally with maximum control. Unlike Google, Bing, or Brave Search, which crawl the web and have their own search indexes, SearXNG is a metasearch engine, meaning it taps other search engines, stripping your identifying data, such as IP address, user agent, and cookies, in the process. Your search query is sent to the other search engines you enable before aggregating the results. SearXNG has deployment flexibility. If you are a casual user or a mobile user and don’t want to run SearXNG locally, you can use a public instance that is hosted by someone else. The main problem with this is that you are putting trust in the maintainer of the instance regarding stuff like logs that they may keep; good hosts should have a privacy policy explaining their policies. If you are trying to use SearXNG, you can also install the software on your device and then head to 127.0.0.1:8080 in your browser and search from there. While you don’t have to worry about a third-party admin like the public instances, search engines could ultimately block your IP address if they frown on you pulling in their search results locally. If you want to run it locally, it’s a good idea to use proxies or VPNs to hide your actual IP. You don’t have to worry about this with a public instance, as search engines never see your IP address. The main privacy benefit of using SearXNG is that it isolates your identity from the underlying engines that it’s capable of searching, such as Google and Bing. These search engines will only see requests coming from a generic server, so they can’t profile you and create a bubble filter that influences what results you see. This also ensures that your search engine doesn’t turn into an echo chamber that prevents you from reading alternative points of view. As a free software project, you are allowed to inspect SearXNG to make sure there are no negative features bundled inside. This sets it apart from the privacy search engines mentioned earlier because you can’t check their source code. As a meta search engine, you are not restricted to getting results from one source. Due to the fact that it scrapes content from other websites, your SearXNG instance will periodically get blocked from different providers, so it’s good to select a range of sources as a backup. While enabling all of the services will give you great results, this can make searching slower. I am personally happy with slower searches for the best results, but you can always check which providers are slowing down your search from the search results page and disable them to speed things up. If you want decent results quickly, enable the main search providers such as Google, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Qwant, Bing, and Yahoo. This way, you get wide coverage without the latency. On the Engines tab in Preferences, do note that there are different tabs, such as General, Images, and Videos, with their own providers that can be toggled and are not covered by "Enable all" while on the General tab, so be sure to dig into each. Just a note, if you want to enable everything, press "Enable all" in one tab, then hit save at the bottom of the page, then do the next tab, and so on. If you press "Enable all", then do that in each tab, and then save, nothing will stick. When I had just some of the search engines enabled, I searched “define nefarious” and results came back with the definition of “define” - obviously that was a sucky result. However, when I had everything enabled, it found dictionary pages for the word “nefarious” and even had an inline definition on the sidebar, which is quite nice too - that was delivered by WolframAlpha for anyone wondering! Probably the worst thing about this meta search engine is that the engines you select are saved with a cookie, so you must enable them on every new device you use SearXNG on, including if you decide to go into incognito mode with your web browser. Honestly, I would say this is the most annoying aspect, and perhaps if your browser lets you choose a separate private browsing search engine, then it would be best to use DuckDuckGo for this portion of your browsing. Another weakness of SearXNG is the random blocking of it by search providers. When you are on the results page, expand the “Response time” box, and it will show things like “Suspended: too many requests” or “access denied”. This is why it is good to enable several providers so that there is always a fallback to get results from. I won’t pretend SearXNG will be for everyone, however, if you enable all of the providers and put up with the slower response time, the results can be really amazing. Even if you don’t want to use it as your daily driver, keeping a bookmark handy that links to it is a good idea if you ever feel like doing a deep dive into a niche topic where other search engines are just failing to bring up any good result, due to the amount of sources it looks on. If you’re interested in radical user control over the software you use, installing SearXNG locally can also be a good idea, but be prepared to be temporarily blocked from sites if you trigger bot sensors without a VPN. Personally, I’ve opted to use a public instance, rather than install it myself. If you want to use it via a public instance, head over to searx.space to find a provider. Let us know in the comments if you have used SearXNG or its predecessor, Searx. What do you think about the quality of the results?
    • Dear Neowin, If it is not too much trouble, can you start using the new-ish designations for Insider Preview? "Experimental" is different than "former Dev" as it can apply to different models, eg 26H1 or 26H2 etc, right? No need to seed confusion IMHO. And, please "finally" update your graphics. OK?
