You would be surprised, similar things haven't been unheard of in the past. It also isn't necessary though since I don't think it would make a difference to those doubting he is dead. They could hold a public viewing and all people would see is the body of a 6 1/2 foot tall Middle Eastern dirt merchant with heavy facial hair they have only otherwise seen on crappy videotapes. Not exactly perfect for making a positive ID.

That also ignores what a nightmare it would be to prevent the public spectacle from being targeted by Bin Laden's supporters.

Pretty much. There is no practicable way they would be happy with what happened to Bin Laden's body. It has tempered somewhat but I'm still halfway tempted to support the "body wrapped in pig carcasses" idea I posted about last night.
