Why do you think the government lied about the status of Bin Ladens body?
The leading story on the Drudgereport stattes that the body was put on a CIA plane and brought to the United States. Here is a quote from the article:
"Stratfor’s vice-president for intelligence, Fred Burton, believes the body was “bound for Dover, [Delaware] on [a] CIA plane” and then “onward to the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Bethesda [Maryland],” an email says."
I don't think the government lied about it. The critical section of your example is "believes the body ..." What makes it even less "wowing" is that it is written about a third party, some dude at a civilian intelligence beltway-bandit. Now if the e-mail had come from somebody inside the CIA, then you would have a different story.
It is all about corroboration.
I don't believe that they shot him and dumped him in the ocean. My government lies to me all the time, so why should I believe them when they can not even show me a picture? Because Obama said so? That doesn't work for me.
Good question. I have my doubts since a body was never shown. But, they may have their reasons.

Why is science and religion in conflict with each other?Why is science and religion in conflict with each other? Aren't they both seeking truth? Science is more of a how and religion is more of a why.
