Well ....moving along... Where were the bodies?
King: "We stopped and I opened the door. The smell of jet fuel was overpowering. I will never forget that smell; it is really burnt into my mind. ...I walked down the power line and got my first glimpse of human remains. Then I walked a little further and saw more."
Lieutenant Roger Bailey, Somerset Volunteer Fire Department: "We started down through the debris field. I saw pieces of fiberglass, pieces of airplane, pop rivets, and mail...Mail was scattered everywhere. ...the one guy who was with us almost stepped on a piece of human remains. I grabbed him, and he got about half woozy over it."
When former firefighter Dave Fox arrived at the scene, "He saw a wiring harness, and a piston. None of the other pieces was bigger than a TV remote. He saw three chunks of torn human tissue. He swallowed hard. 'You knew there were people there, but you couldn't see them,' he says."
The FBI has mandated DNA testing to confirm the identities of remains, a process just beginning that Miller said could take four to six months. But using mostly dental records, Miller and staff have identified remains of 12 passengers -- a number that the coroner said might grow with last weekend's recovery of additional remains.
All that debris, and the fact that only 8 percent of the human remains could be recovered, mean the site is, essentially, a cemetery, Miller says. "The real story is about what those people did, deciding to rush the [terrorists] and sell everyone else on the idea," says Miller, who spent weeks crawling around on his hands and knees searching for remains and would rather talk about anything else. "Where it landed is not what matters. The most important thing is that they be properly remembered."

Thanks for the random walk through your logic 101 textbook.
appeal to motive (16) I did not dismiss the witnesses because “I didn’t like them”. I dismissed the witnesses because they are unreliable.
To prove your points, all you had to do was to dismiss witness testimony that you didn't like.
This is a CIT tactic.
bare assertion (17) I said nothing of the sort. Until you quote me in context, your claim is groundless.
If testimony or evidence contradicts predetermined conclusions, it is a lie or a plant, respectively.
What are your predetermined conclusions?
You’re demanding negative proof (19).
Try the following:
1. Name the many witnesses who claim to have seen a flyover.
It’s unclear as to what you are even proposing here. I therefore suggest you use your infamous logic to form a viable request.
2. Use your vaunted logic to explain the thousands of pounds of jet fuel that were burned.
3. Bring forward the Latin term that shows how explosives were used.
4. Expose the witnesses who saw airplane parts being planted immediately after the impact.
The evidence “files”, as you put it, are already completely open and all over the net. Not sure what you were hoping to accomplish by saying that . . .
5. Open your evidence files against first responders who were part of the big plot.
DNA comparison is just one of several techniques to be used by members of the federal Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team, which is charged with recovering and identifying the remains of Flight 93's passengers, crew members and hijackers. All 44 people who were on board died in the crash.
As coroner, responsible for returning human remains, Miller has been forced to share with the families information that is unimaginable. As he clinically recounts to them, holding back very few details, the 33 passengers, seven crew and four hijackers together weighed roughly 7,000 pounds. They were essentially cremated together upon impact. Hundreds of searchers who climbed the hemlocks and combed the woods for weeks were able to find about 1,500 mostly scorched samples of human tissue totaling less than 600 pounds, or about 8 percent of the total.
Investigators have identified remains of four of the 44 people aboard Flight 93, the jetliner that crashed here 11 days ago, the Somerset County coroner said yesterday.
Seven victims of the Sept. 11 United Airlines Flight 93 crash in Somerset County were positively identified over the weekend, bringing the number of identified bodies to 11.
But Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller said that additional identifications could take months. There were 44 passengers and crew members on the flight. -- reported 9/24/2001
The Somerset County coroner said yesterday that officials have now identified the remains of 16 of the 44 passengers aboard United Airlines Flight 93, the plane that crashed into a former strip mine in rural Stonycreek Sept. 11.
The addition of four names to the list came through DNA sampling -- the first DNA matches made in the identification of remains, Coroner Wallace Miller said yesterday.
Investigators have positively identified the remains of another 14 persons aboard United Airlines Flight 93 and Somerset County Coroner Wallace Miller said the investigation could conclude more quickly than expected.
At the same time, the high winds that buffeted the area over the last few days have dislodged additional airplane parts -- seat cushions, wiring, carpet fragments and pieces of metal -- from trees near the crash site.
The coroner's assessment came yesterday as he confirmed that the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory has used DNA samples to match recovered remains with the last of 40 crew members and passengers aboard the hijacked jetliner 14 weeks ago when it slammed into a recovered strip mine at around 500 mph.

Based on your post you must not subscribe to the CIT theory of a flyover.
bare assertion (23) I have not ignored any witnesses. Your sentence is illogical. I've acknowledged and heard the tales of all witnesses presented and dismissed those that are unreliable. There's a difference.
You have ignored all the witnesses that saw an impact because you determined them to be unreliable.
What witnesses are reliable?
appeal to motive (24) AGAIN. I did not dismiss the witnesses because “I didn’t like them”. I dismissed the witnesses because they are unreliable.
Those few whose testimony you like?
loaded question (25)
How does your theory explain thousands of pounds of hydrocarbons burning inside the Pentagon if an aircraft did not take them inside? We'll see if you have any "arguments based on technical skills" in you.

Start reading, jthomas. It's been done.
Why have you failed to prove that the light pole hit the taxi, jthomas?

Here is a segment of your witness rejection post you referenced...
"the damage is in no way shape or form consistent with that of an airplane hitting the building.
An aluminum alloy plane is 100% incapable of penetrating 1, let alone 3 steel-concrete reinforced walls.
The only objects on the plane that would have had any penetrating power at all are the engines because of their sheer weight, density, and form.
There is no current evidence readily available, observable and testable to suggest otherwise.
I'd love to see you crash an aluminum alloy plane into a steel concrete reinforced wall as thick as those at the pentagon and have the plane penetrate it. It won't happen. Newton says it won't."
The basis for your rejection of the witnesses is that you don't understand how the plane penetrated the building and therefore the witnesses who saw it happen must be mistaken or lying. You are an expert speaking from a position of knowledge and authority. You even invoke Newton to support you but I doubt that he would.
As an exercise for the student, delineate the many logical fallacies in your witness rejection argument.
Now you should explain the damage to the building since you say that an airplane couldn't have done it and earlier rejected my suggestion that you provide details on the explosives used.
You can also explain the origin of the fireball and burning hydrocarbons.
Tell me why you rejected all those witnesses, again.

"Liar" is a term used most often by those who can't handle the truth. You are an excellent example. As the interview of dead people, that was an extreme that I called out to show the failure of another poster to define his statements, although interviewing dead people would be more entertaining than reading your posts.

More reports on remains being found:
Where are the statements of the hundreds of people who were all around the Pentagon on the freeways, bridges, in the Pentagon parking lots? What did those people see?
What's taking you so long, JPhish?

According to ripcurl they all ran to the Pentagon's perfectly greener than green lawn to pick up "remaining debris" from the huge "airplane" that "supposedly" penetrated through the pentagon.... and then disappeared like Houdini.
