The article Rae linked to should have been produced on day one to have any real chance of cooling things down, not a week plus after the fact. Probably wouldn't have hurt to have a few independant observers around for the burial too.
Yeah probably should of been, would of been, could of been. Yet, much like the previous Administration they only seem to see thing in the political value that things like this gives them.

What is done, is done.

HELL NO, the more people who would of witness the burial at sea would mean someone would of leaked something more to the press. Much like the killing of Saddam and the picture of his sons when they were finally hunted down. There is no reason for public record of this to be given out for several reasons including keeping the people who were part of this operation as nameless faces as much as possible.
