That's a good question, but I'm pretty sure they can match a person's DNA by comparison with DNA taken voluntarily from family members.How did they have his DNA records on file to confirm it?
Yea, because Scheuer has the last word on it. Believe evidence not people. I trust Ron Paul on economic matters but if tomorrow he changes his mind and start preaching Keynesian policies, I wouldn't believe it.
Also why believe Scheuer, he wasn't there during the killing.

I still think the story is bullshit, but mainly for the reasons given earlier.
Scheuer is a very intelligent man and has very detailed, first hand knowledge of OBL. I said I'd reconsider, not take his word as gospel
The Obama administration has photographs of Osama bin Laden’s dead body and officials are debating what to do with them and whether they should be released to the public, officials tell ABC News.
“There’s no doubt it’s him,” says a US official who has seen the pictures and also reminds us that OBL was 6’4”.
The argument for releasing them: to ensure that the public knows and can appreciate that he's dead. There is of course skepticism throughout the world that the US government claim that it killed bin Laden is true.
The argument against releasing the pictures: they’re gruesome. He has a massive head wound above his left eye where he took bullet, with brains and blood visible.
In July 2003, the US government released photographs of Saddam Hussein’s dead sons Uday and Qusay Hussain but not until after they’d been touched up by a mortician, making them look not quite real.
(Reuters) - The U.S. special forces team that hunted down Osama bin Laden was under orders to kill the al Qaeda mastermind, not capture him, a U.S. national security official told Reuters.
"This was a kill operation," the official said, making clear there was no desire to try to capture bin Laden alive in Pakistan.
Is everything now a conspiracy theory?

When your level of trust in government is at an all time low, and then the government comes out and tells you that they killed the most important figure in the "War on Terror" but shipped him out to sea really fast and dumped him into the water, because they didn't want to piss off Muslims by breaking tradition (even though we've been bombing the middle east for 20 years without any regard to their feelings), nearly anything is more plausible as truth than the 'official stories'.
No -- just Project MK ULTRA, Operation Northwoods, the Gulf of Tonkin, Saddam's WMDs, the action-packed Jessica Lynch "rescue," etc. In other words, there is no doubt whatsoever that the US government has a history of lying and, yes, conspiring. So when a story seems suspicious, it is a very good idea to question it.Is everything now a conspiracy theory?

That's a good point, but haven't they already released the pictures?
