Sure, the Navy Seals did the right thing in getting rid of bin Laden's body at sea. You can be sure all the options were discussed as to what could and should take place. As they've said, this way he's not martyred and no shrines get built at his burial place.
But the next thing that should happen?
I hate to say it but they probably no doubt need to level the house he was at.
They need to either ask or tell the Pakistanis that's what we're going to do--give them warning and then level the place.
No shrines, for sure.

Yup, I agree. Take it down. Compensate the owner appropriately--maybe even a little bit generously--and take it down.
I don't think that would be any more effective than dropping both buildings of the WTC. People can build a shrine anywhere.
If anything, the WTC site is a shrine to ObL. Like it or not.
