They detail it in the linked cable, but it involves incinerating mutilated remains.

>>APCS THEN RAN OVER BODIES TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO MAKE QUOTE PIE UNQUOTE AND REMAINS COLLECTED BY BULLDOZER. REMAINS INCINERATED AND THEN HOSED DOWN DRAINS.

Considering the task at hand, pretty smart. Just burn them so not much remains. Weeks, months and years later, no evidence at all.

In an ABC (Australia) news story this week a journalist who was involved back in 1989 recounted that families were only allowed to collect the bodies of victims from hospitals and morgues if they agreed to sign a document confirming that the victim had died under "accidental circumstances".

This was one means by which the official bodycount was understated.

Read the cable. They (allegedly), pulverized the bodies into a “pie” by repeatedly running them over with APCs, then washed them down drains and disinfected.
