Two reasons:
1. Your statement.
2. No country would want that body anyway.
Also, he was buried very quickly per Islamic traditions - I believe they're similar to Jewish traditions in that the body is buried very quickly. Smart political move. But the burial at sea was to avoid the crazies (not like we can, really, as we see now that all Americans abroad and many major cities are on high alert today and will continue to be until we're sure there's less danger).
