Call For Military To Search For 9/11 Remains

After hundreds of bone fragments were found on the roof of the slated-for-demolition Deutsche Bank bulding in Lower Manhattan, some families of as-yet unidentified victims and Senator Chuck Schumer are calling for military support to mount a new search effort.

They want JPAC, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, which was created to find and identify military members or their remains from several previous military conflicts, to join in the search.
...
Schumer said Rumsfeld should allow the respected JPAC to visit New York and conduct a search of the Deutsche Bank building as well as other surrounding skyscrapers. Schumer said experts would have to determine exactly how wide the search area should be.

As much as it pains me physically to say so, Chuck makes a good point.  The city has mounted a commendable effort, dispatching firefighters, medical examiners, and even an archaeologist to the site to assist in the recovery effort.  But with over a thousand victims yet to be identified by the recovery of physical remains, if the military specialists have training and equipment that would enable them to get this job done better, let's bring 'em in.
