Osama Burial Sacrilege

So Osama bin Laden is allegedly dead, and one of the key points made by U.S. officials has been that he was buried according to Islamic traditions. They've failed to address one glaring contradiction though - the burial at sea. According to wikipedia, Islamic tradition states that an individual may be buried at sea if the following criteria are met:

a) The individual died at sea
b) It is impossible for the body to be transported to land and buried

Well, Osama did NOT die at sea. And it WAS possible for the body to be buried on land. Therefore, the U.S. government did not follow Islamic tradition in their burial of Osama, and they should stop claiming they did.

Here's an article detailing more problems with the 'burial at sea':
