Bones of Hitler deputy exhumed, burned
Posted by Luke Setzer on 7/21, 8:21am
Readers still wondering why the United States opted to bury Osama bin Laden at sea should ponder this passage:

The bones of Adolf Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess, have been removed from their grave in a small Bavarian town that had become a pilgrimage site for neo-Nazis.

Before dawn Wednesday, workers exhumed Hess's bones from the grave in the Wunsiedel cemetery, then cremated the remains and scattered secretly at sea, cemetery administrator Andreas Fabel told The Associated Press.

"The grave is now empty," he said on Thursday. "The bones are gone."


We can argue all day about the merits of this choice, but really, why create a shrine for any of our enemies to visit?
