How Does F.B.I. have known dna samples of alleged 911 highjackers at the ready?
this is a put up faked story or somebody has splainin to do. How can the FBI maintain a "known" database of DNA on the exact perpetrators of the 911 highjackings? Is it because a quarter of the alleged perps had some type of training at our very own military bases? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? And we can't release the real reason for escalating the Vietnam war what 30 fucking years later? Why did somebody lie about it? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

The city scientist who led the effort to identify 9/11 victims said officials made sure to keep the remains of the three terrorists identified away from those of the innocents killed.
The remains of the killers were removed from the medical examiner's makeshift memorial park on the East Side and "put in another place," Robert Shaler, former head of the medical examiner's forensic unit, told the Daily News.
In "Who They Were," his new inside account of the identification effort, Shaler writes that he believes the terrorists identified were in the back of the planes - and not the monsters who plowed the jets into the towers.
"I still doubt the pilots have anything remaining to collect or analyze," he writes. "Likely, they were vaporized along with many of the innocent victims."
Shaler recounts with fresh detail the scientific challenge and personal anguish that marked the more than three years it took to process the bodies and 20,000 body parts recovered from Ground Zero.
Though the remains of 1,594 of the 2,749 WTC victims have so far been identified by name, Shaler makes clear the terrorists were a case apart.
To begin with, Shaler's office could not identify the three by name. That's because the 10 DNA profiles used to make the first matches were supplied by the FBI without names attached.
"No names, just a K code, which is how the FBI designates 'knowns,' or specimens it knows the origins of," Shaler wrote. "Of course, we had no direct knowledge of how the FBI obtained the terrorists' DNA." the rest
