2. The PBS article on DNA analysis ...
The PBS Newshour article says that all the DNA analysis of Pentagon victims was to be performed by the military -- not exactly a disinterested source.

"All remains recovered from the Pentagon are being taken by helicopter or truck to Dover Air Force base in Delaware. That's the site of a large mortuary facility created for use in wartime. There, experts are using various scientific methods to establish identity, such as matching fingerprints, dental records and X-rays. And on all remains removed from the Pentagon, they'll also use another powerful instrument of analysis-- DNA, the genetic material that distinguishes one person from another."
