Actually, I consider the biggest reason for using POST instead of GET is that since GET requests are part of the URL, they are generally logged. Consider the case where you pass sensitive data such as credit card numbers through a GET request. Doesn't matter how well you encrypt your database or your session, the credit card numbers still appear in clear text in the web server logs.
