This obviously isn't all that surprising, but yeah, I think his body should be released to his family.

I honestly couldn't care less what happens to his body, but we don't really need it. We might as well give it to the family.

That wouldn't look too good now would it? We don't gain anything from burning his rotten worthless bloodied corpse. Let the family decide what to do with it.

I think it would show some respect and maturity from the Americans if we return his body. We've done what we feel we need to do, what would it accomplish besides a childish 'since they asked I'm not going to do it' satisfaction if we kept it?
And I didn't read the entire article because I really don't feel like having to sign up for a news site. Even if it is free.

I think if we can return it safely, then I don't see why we should not. That being said, I can't help but think that if it were to be returned, it would somehow result in some kind of riot or violence.
