Oh the inhumanity...

Good question, really. Well, that's easily answered, in my opinion. It's the administration.
They're stupid about foreign policy. Really stupid.

Either that or they wanted to bury him at sea so there wouldn't be a rallying point for a martyr's grave and didn't really give a shit. idk.

Was Justice served?

In referance to this, I'd say no. Revenge and Justice are completly different things. Although, killing someone whom we all can pretty honestly say we view as evil does seem pretty just, we should it even matter? The majority of the people effected use this event as revenge so "to me" that kinda soils the whole Justice ideaology...

You know, I know absolutly nothing about Islam. So, having said that, I don't blame my administration for not knowing crap about them. (Although, I would like to think that they would learn, given that that's their job, but whatever.) I never really concidered that it was disrespectfull to have his body dumped into the ocean. I don't understand the whole thing... The man's dead, why does it matter what we do with his shell. It's not like he's gonna come back to his body or anything like that. Furthermore, why make his grave a shrine? Who viewed him as a saint?

Followers of Islam believe that their bodies have to remain intact, and buried in the ground in order for them to have their bodies in their full glory in the afterlife. Again, this is why they wouldn't opt for a cremation or sea burial - ashes aren't an intact body, and his body at the bottom of the sea will dissolve or be eaten (drinking a glass of water with a bit of Bin Laden in it... terrible thought).

The fact that they wanted to bury him out of respect, and that his burial wasn't respectful is another matter. Honestly, I don't really care how it was treated. I'm just confused as to why certain decisions were made and carried out.

The thing about the shrine? Well, I guess you've not read the news yet and seen his followers dancing in the street and chanting his name, and calling him a "guardian of Islam". Link. These people would treat his grave as a shrine if he was buried on land, and if they knew where it was. On the other hand, you've got the people who hate him, and would vandalise his grave anyway.
