Cover-Up: Ukraine Rebels Destroying All Links To MH17 Air Atrocity -- The Guardian

My Comment: Reading these news reports does not surprise me. As I had mentioned before .... I am familiar with the people in this region and I can say the following unequivocally .... the people who live there are stubborn, strong headed, determined, and I sometimes I have to wonder if they are in the 21rst century. And while I am not there .... if I was to hazard a guess on why they are behaving this way .... I would say that they are not destroying evidence but they are doing something worse .... they are looting the bodies of money and valuables. Everyone on this flight was either going to an AIDS conference or a vacation .... and when you go on vacation you are usually carrying thousands of dollars, credit cards, and other valuables (gifts).
Update: It appears that my assessment is right .... Dutch banks act on MH17 credit card looting reports -- AFP
