Are They Going To Be ID-ing The Bodies??

[K8-EEE]

We are still looking for a friend who was stuck in NOLA -- I keep hearing how they have shifted the body count downward and all that but does that mean they can work on ID-ing the bodies, I am having trouble finding info on this.

Also how many people are still listed as missing? I wish there was one central, credible registry for all of this, FEMA is completely worthless!!

1. I think state law requires it.

Death certificates are manditory. There has to be some kind of ID process otherwise life insurance companies will not pay. This is going to be a nasty, long drawn out business.

2. They have already Id'd half of the bodies.

4. half? of how many? all of the dead?

is there an open, public, verifiable (as in, a relative can see that their dead kin are not on the list and have them added) list?

if the answer to the above question is no, how will ANYONE be able to verify the number of dead. The govt could tell us ANY number.

5. Half of the bodies that have been brought to the Morgue

Going by what I heaqrd on the news last night.

6. Half of 211 bodies "officially processed" not half of total.

3. I doubt it! unless you count a *number* as an ID

Fingerprints gets mucked up after a long time in the water. Dental records are of limited use (poor people don't see the dentist as frequently as those with insurance). Most of the dead were poor and black and the government just doesn't care because they know nothing will come of it.

Remember that white girl in Aruba or wherever it was? What a non-story had the poor girl been black and poor....

We will never get the official body count from this treasonous government anyway....
