Besides, even assuming that we do keep Bin Laden's body in one piece, where exactly are we to bury it that Al-Qaida wouldn't go to the ends of the Earth to get? Are we to simply let the location or even the specifics of the body fade into obscurity?
Give it a cement sarcophagus and put it some place monitored. Even if an Al-Qaeda cell resolved to do something and had construction equipment police would still have 15-30min to react.
