Pentagon lab, slow to ID human remains, has time to shoot Bradley Cooper movie

NBC News: A unit of the U.S. Department of Defense, already under fire for faked public ceremonies and delays in identifying the remains of American service men and women, found time earlier this month to hand over part of its lab to Hollywood. The lab where human remains are usually examined was used to shoot a romantic adventure starring film heartthrobs Bradley Cooper and Rachel McAdams.

The movie company used Building 45 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Honolulu, shooting for one day in a secure lab where the remains of possible Americans killed in action are usually analyzed by the Central Identification Lab, a unit of the Pentagon's Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, known as JPAC. The lab stores about 1,000 cardboard boxes of remains awaiting identification.

Although the glass-walled room usually has skeletons and partial remains laid out on the tables, a Pentagon spokeswoman said that no human remains were shown on camera, and prop bones used as training aids will be shown in the movie.
