We aren't living in a movie, Edort. It's not so easy to capture alive an armed man with the will to die fighting. Especially when he's surrounded by similarly minded fanatics. No blasters to set to stun in this world - at least not yet. As opposed to that Saddam was hiding in some potato cellar and the only danger in getting him out alive was the bad smell.

If the man wanted a proper burial and grave, he should have thought about it before becoming the most wanted terrorist. Can't presume to have both, really.
