Cartoon depicts Text reads 'Why the U.S. prefers to bury at sea'. The cartoon shows Osama bin Laden, with concrete blocks tied to his feet, sinking rapidly to the ocean floor. The blocks are engraved with the words 'Osama C.I.A. connections', 'Abu Ghraib torture', 'Guantanamo', 'Illegal war', 'Death, destruction'. Context - On 1 May 2011 Osama bin Laden was shot dead by U.S. Navy SEALs and CIA paramilitary forces at a compound in the city of Abbottabad in Pakistan and was buried at sea. The cartoon suggests that the United States' behaviour does not bear too close a scrutiny and that killing bin Laden rather than questioning him might save some embarrassment. 2011
