It's important to find the remains of all the astornauts. Posted for the GWB quote which I haven't seen elsewhere.

Good find.

Very good find indeed.

I'm skeptical on this Bush quote. It doesn't sound like him. It might be more likely had he said "we will finish the job." It will be interesting to see if it is corroborated by other news sources.

" the Israel Air Force" that he took with him was found in its entirety? Any idea what they are talking about?

Rest in peace, Ilan Ramon, you were one of us and we were so proud. May your family find comfort in the prayers of the civilized world.

My 11 year old daughter walked into the kitchen this morning and asked me what "decapitated" meant. I told her and then I asked her where she heard that word. She said the news report on the TV just said that is what happened to Ilan Ramon. I believe it was our local News Channel 14 here in Raleigh (she had since changed the channel).

Needless to say, I was appalled. I'm sure the investigation might want to know these details to piece together the tragedy but that is not something I, as a citizen, need to know and the media should be ashamed.

Rest in Peace Colonel Ramon...

I'm not sure Bush would have said this to the family either. However, it's a wonderful thing for the press to print at this time to memorialize this wonderful man and to keep morale up in Israel.
