U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Ukraine’s separatists were to blame for the downing of the aircraft, adding there was “extraordinary circumstantial evidence” that showed Russia was almost certainly complicit in arming the rebels.....

My guess is that they will cremate the bodies. Some of the bodies are likely to contain shrapnel that would be consistent with material from a Russian made SAM.

Thugs always need hostages for bargaining power — whether dead or alive.

Given that the separatists have constituted themselves as a government for the territory in which the plane came down, even if no one recognized that government, it would be bizarre to expect them not to take custody of the bodies (as a government would normally do), and it is bizarre to characterized the action as “by force”. No foreign government recognized the Confederacy, but it would be absurd to characterize the actions of a corner in Virginia in 1863 in removing bodies from some accident scene or battlefield as “taking the bodies by force”.

The West has a vested interest in not doing what you have described and London is the capitol of the West, despite those who think that Washington is. The story comes from a London newspaper.

“corner in Virginia” should have been “coroner in Virginia”

That is why I call the area “disputed” land area of a real country.
