Americans Still Missing in Haiti

Two weeks after the devastating 7.0 Earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, there are estimates of up to 5,000 Americans still missing. That's 5,000 Americans...The worst part is how recovery of bodies are being made. The Haitian government, though ravaged by this quake, still have enough control to organize heavy equipment and clean up. Bulldozers are picking up the rubble of buildings, along with dead bodies within the rubble and dumping them in the back of dump trucks. These dump trucks carry them out into the country, far away from the city, and these bodies that are mixed in with this rubble, are dumped onto the ground. No one is bothering to identify these bodies. No one is taking pictures, seeing if there is any identification on them or charting how many are there. They are simply dumping them and then leaving them. They do not even have the decency to throw some dirt over top of them. The pictures on television are disturbing and illustrate this point. What's most disturbing is that there are Americans in there. I know that we should not be held up above anyone else or any other people in the world, however, the U.S. government is heavily funding and involved in the rescue, recovery, and aid to this country. Why can't the State Department coordinate with the what's left of the Haitian government or force them to identify these bodies instead of throwing them away like garbage. This is sickening and wrong and highly disrespectful, not only to dead Americans and their families, but to dead Haitians and their families, and any other nationalities. Something needs to be done. Each body needs to be treated with respect. They were humans, not animals. Most of them were there doing their part, donating time, money, etc. to better this poor country, and this is the way they treat them? It is unconscionable. I know it's a tough situation there on the ground, but something has got to be done. We owe all the people who have perished so much better.
