| Hijackers' remains raise questions |
| 2002-08-17 |
| Among the human remains painstakingly recovered from the Pentagon and Pennsylvania crash sites of Sept. 11 are those of nine of the hijackers. The FBI has held them for months. Deciding what to do with the bodies of these despised enemies of the United States is a politically and emotionally charged question for the government. With the one-year anniversary approaching, State Department officials said yesterday they had received no requests for the remains. The department would be responsible for handling such a request from any government seeking the return of a citizen's body. Officials have said that eight of the nine hijackers recovered had connections to Saudi Arabia. The other was Lebanese. I think we're being entirely too sensitive about this. Just toss them out with he rest of the garbage and forget about them. |

| #7 Send a message: Have our ambassador place them in separate Mason jars on the desk of the Saudi head of state. Then leave without saying a word. |

| #6 Not that, never! Arab News would claim they Jews were buying it to make soup. |

| #5 Or grind them up, put the powder into little vials and give to an American synagogue to auction off on eBay to raise money for Israel. |

| #4 Remind me not to piss you guys off, ok? (P.S. I'm with Fred, treat their remains as inconsequential...out with the rest of the garbage that, I am hopeful, contains pig parts as well.) |

| #3 I like BarCodeKing's suggestion. I would recommend, however, that the remains be mechanically ground (not burned -- that suggests purification) after the pig fat has been applied. |

| #2 Slather the remains with pig fat and dump them at sea. No relics of martyrs for the Islamofascists! |
