Yes, and be independently identified.

Now that's nonsense and unnecessary.


Who would you trust to actually view the body? That's nonsense.
An independent person from an independent country.

I agree,tis in no way derogatory.

It's no different to being labelled a jock, sweaty sock, or paddy. They are all acceptable on BE.

I heard an interesting story tonight, from someone who is usually reliable. I cannot verify any of it, so it goes in the scuttlebutt bucket until it gets announced. Anyway much of it didn’t make sense to me, but the following did:

According to this chap Bin Laden took his own life when the place was stormed, or sometime soon after. He was dead when they shot him.

He had been ill for some time and was confined to bed.

The seals arrived long after thing started. The initial assault was by CIA and the Seals and helicopters arrived to take Bin Laden away as a prisoner.

A number of the Al Quida were either CIA or were paid by CIA to sell out OBL.

Someone close to OBL had been working for the yanks for some time.

I can’t verify any of the above, nor can i discuss who I spoke to. Time will show if he is right.

Info like this should remain in house IMO.
Your potentially putting people at risk.

Well I think the American citizens need to harden up. They wouldn't last 5 minutes in Oz.

There's a large American community here in Cairns, several of whom are good friends of mine. They're pretty smart people by and large and have no difficulty surviving here.

Come off it. Even if your suggested scenario was to play out, you and your fellow conspiracy theory advocates wouldn't trust ANYONE.
If the doctor came back with anything that you didn't agree with, it would instantly be another case of "he must be on the US payroll after all".

You can't have a sensible argument with conspiracy nut jobs... they never have to prove anything that they claim and anything put up as evidence to disprove their claim can always, and is always, dismissed as being faked, doctored or manipulated. Logic never plays any part in it.
