Because President Obama is the Commander in Chief, it is he who would give such an order. Leon Panetta was involved in the decision as Secretary of Defense, but he did not give the final order.

Why is Osama bin Laden important?
Bin Laden was killed by the US because he orchestrated the September 11 attacks on the USA and because he is the leader of Al-Qaeda Bin Laden was considered responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11 2001. The US has made it their mission to find Bin Laden and bring him in. Taunting and evading US forces for 10 years is a pretty significant achievement for Bin Laden, so when the US finally found him, they were taking no chances. After 10 years most of the useful information Bin Laden might have had was worthless, so they didn't need him alive, and the gunfight in his compound meant that he wasn't going to come out peacefully. In order to avoid further insult to Bin Laden supporters, the US is trying to downplay the killing of Bin Laden by not releasing pictures of him, and by disposing of his body at the bottom of the Arabian Sea where no one will find it.
