If a Seal says he dead, I tend to believe him. They know those things. Double tap to the face, and done.
Burial at sea, given the problems it could have caused to any country that accepted the corpse and buried it, seems fitting to me. Islamic religion says body should be buried within 24 hours. We honored that. And, we have safeguarded his body from those extremists that may have wanted to unearth it and desecrate it. Thats not honoring the man, that's demonstrating honor.
The way honorable men treat their defeated enemies, tells us much about the depth of their character and the strength of their respect for other humans.
"When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite.” (Winston Churchill)
