Commenting on “Osama bin Laden's death is not time to party”

Was it a coincidence that the President of the United States of America, British strongest ally, was not invited to the wedding of Prince William and Catherine, and that the mission to kill Bin Laden was conducted after the world’s grandest occasion? The British Monarch and the family along with millions of people around the world would be up in arms (not military one) if the death of Bin Laden were to overshadow the wedding ceremony and celebration.
How can we be sure that Bin Laden’s body is at the bottom of the sea, or presumably has been consumed by some sea creatures? This is just another mystery as intriguing as the Roswell aliens.
Presumption of innocence until proven guilty is a legal right of the accused in a criminal trial. We have never heard authenticated recordings about his admission of his masterminding the 9/11 disaster. Now that he is dead, so the world has been told, there is no way to hear his confession in person, or prove each element of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt.
Closer to home, David Hicks who was convicted on charges in 2001 of providing material support for terrorism but finally released on 29 December 2007 should not have been prosecuted due to political interference in the case by the Bush administration in the United States and the Howard government in Australia.
1 May 2011 is a sad day for legal and judiciary systems for countries including Australia who celebrated Osama Bin Laden’s death.
