They just gave it to Abby and said "Do a rush on this."
Our state crime lab takes 8 weeks to do a fast-turn on DNA testing. But this analysis was done in several hours or less? Color me skeptical.
Backlog? DNA analysis can be done in one day if one really wanted to.
Union workers.
Color me skeptical.ROTFLMAO!!!!
When someone of a high-enough rank comes in and says “I want this RIGHT NOW” things tend to not take very long.
Besides, if you were a DNA analyst and somebody handed you a sample and said “Tell me if this is Osama Bin Laden,” wouldn’t you make it top priority?

Yeah...they should have put OBL in the cue with your state DNA lab...behind a couple of dozen rapists...etc and waited 8 weeks...instead of using the 6-12 hour field DNA tests that they have (and used for Saddam Hussein).
Yeah...I would be skeptical too! /sarc
Ohhhhh brother. Common sense people.
I used to do DNA ID typing for the federal CODIS database.
Two months (8 weeks) is just silly. That may be the time it takes a backlogged lab to get to the sample you submitted for paternity testing or whatnot - a priority sample can be processed in one working day or less.
Running the PCR on a fleck of DNA from blood takes only a few hours - running the DNA out on a gel takes only a few more hours - and analysis can take less than 10 minutes - but I bet they took at LEAST 20 minutes to make sure on THIS one.
In other words, if you gave me the right equipment and the DNA sample of OBL and the reference sample from his sister - I could tell you if the guy was the sibling of the sister in a single working day - or less.
So color yourself better informed.

No one will be happier than Donald and Jerome Corsi to solve this. release the DNA records!!
