The writing certainly doesn't!
Was it a liquid lunch at the Tele, or were there work experience boys in for the day?
| Quote: | One email stamped secret and sent on May 2 by a senior Navy officer briefly describes how bin Laden's body was washed, wrapped in a white sheet, and then placed in a weighted bag.
According to another message from the Vinson's public affairs officer, only a small group of the ship's leadership was informed of the burial
Bin Laden was killed on May 1, 2011, by a Navy SEAL team that assaulted his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. His body was carried out to sea by the USS Carl Vinson.
"Traditional procedures for Islamic burial was followed," the May 2 email from Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette reads. "A military officer read prepared religious remarks, which were translated into Arabic by a native speaker. After the words were complete, the body was placed on a prepared flat board, tipped up, whereupon the deceased's body slid into the sea." |
- How do you stamp an email before you send it?
- 'Navy officer'? If you like... 'Naval officer' is preferred.
- What is 'the ship's leadership'? Bodies of men have leaders, not ships.
- 'Traditional procedures was followed.'??
- 'After the words were complete'? Were there letters missing? |

They probably didn't want to tamper with text from such a revered source!  |
