I agree, the person who ordered this needs to be let go. There was not enough house cleaning at the beginning of the administration. Everything about it stinks. But my point is we don't know what motivated the person who made the decision, so we can't automatically assume it was made with the blessings of the administration.
As much as I hated Clinton, I didn't hold him accountable for everything that went wrong on his watch, although there were lots. The decision maker and his boss need to go!
P.S. Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend.
HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii
...In all there were four coffinlike containers removed from the C-130 cargo jet that had arrived from Laos, via Guam, on Tuesday. One other set of remains was believed to be those of Neil Sharman, an Australian who had been traveling with Charlie Dean. The others were believed to be those of airmen.
Though Charlie Dean and his friend were civilians, they were given military honors, officials said, on the chance that the remains include those of service members missing in the Vietnam War.
"We don't know who we have until the lab says who we have," said Lieutenant Colonel Gerald O'Hara, a spokesman for the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, which runs the international recovery missions and the forensic laboratory here. "Ninety-eight percent of the missing from this war were service members. We're treating everyone as if they could be a service member."
O'Hara said DNA testing to confirm the identity could take up to eight months, although family members were confident because of the personal items found with the bones. Eventually, the Dean family plans a burial under the Sag Harbor, New York, cemetery marker laid for Charlie two years ago, according to the wishes expressed in the will of his late father, who never spoke of his son's death after 1975.
