Unusual Cremation Not Limited to Michael Hastings

Last week, I reported that Michael Hastings, who died in a fiery car crash, was cremated without the permission of the family. Indeed, an eyewitness to the crash says that Hasting's body was not burnt below the shoulders, which raises even more question as to why the body was cremated.

Something of the same sort of cremation occurred in a mysterious shoot down of a  helicopter in Afghanistan that resulted in the deaths of 30 Americans, including Seal Team 6 members that took part in the raid on Osama Bin Laden's residence.

Infowars reports:

The Pentagon told the families that all the bodies were cremated due to the fact that they were badly burned in the crash. However, pictures have emerged that show some deceased SEALs without bad burns.

“The body I saw didn’t need to be cremated,” said Rep. Chaffetz, [who is investigating the shoot down in his role as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee on National Security].

The Pentagon  also claims that, despite recovering all the bodies of those killed, the helicopter’s black box was washed away in a flash flood. According to Infowars, Chaffetz, said that the DoD’s explanation regarding the helicopter’s black box is “awfully odd.”
