<<<How do we reconcile a 50% rate of identification in New York, or 65% if they achieve their goals, with a 97% identification rate in Washington, especially where much of the DNA obtained in Washington had to be obtained from the area where the fuselage surrounding the passengers was before it was vaporized by the heat?>>> It's probably a fair question, but I'd tend to think that in the course of the top floor of a 1/4 mile high building finding its way to the basement, there might not be anything left of a lot of the people in the middle. In a fire there would likely be something left to identify, plus the Pentagon wasn't a situation with millions of tons of concrete turning everything to powder. I think I'd be more curious about where the government got the DNA samples to cross check against the victims. I doubt there is a fraction of 1% of the population who have DNA tests on file, and I would tend to think the majority of those would be someone involved in some kind of criminal investigation. From what I understand, any tissue sample will do; hair, fingernail clippings, saliva, etc., so I suppose it's theoretically possible there were a bunch of FBI agents cleaning drains for hair samples from the victims' apartments, but that strikes me as something folks would talk about. I suppose it's also possible that every time a doctor takes a blood sample, they run DNA tests and send them off to a FBI super computer, but I'd think that would be difficult to keep quite while building a database large enough to identify 65% of a random sample of the population. The big question would be where did they get tissue samples of the hijackers? Of course the simple explanation is they made the whole thing up and really don't have a clue who the victims were. That wouldn't surprise me.

the almost complete absence of wreckage left behind of the plane Are you educable? How many times do we have to go through this? You seen this before. Go down to "Answer #3" about halfway down this: libertyboy.free.fr Aren't you embarrassed that you keep spouting the same nonsense in spite of have your hobbyhorse shot out from under you repeatedly?
