Cheney Admits that He Lied about 9/11

The New York Times’ Maureen Daud writestoday:

In a documentary soon to appear on Showtime, “The World According to Dick Cheney,” [Cheney said] “I got on the telephone with the president, who was in Florida, and told him not to be at one location where we could both be taken out.” Mr. Cheney kept W. flying aimlessly in the air on 9/11 while he and Lynn left on a helicopter for a secure undisclosed location, leaving Washington in a bleak, scared silence, with no one reassuring the nation in those first terrifying hours.

“I gave the instructions that we’d authorize our pilots to take it out,” he says, referring to the jet headed to Washington that crashed in a Pennsylvania field. He adds: “After I’d given the order, it was pretty quiet. Everybody had heard it, and it was obviously a significant moment.”

When they testified together before the 9/11 Commission, W. and Mr. Cheney kept up a pretense that in a previous call, the president had authorized the vice president to give a shoot-down order if needed. But the commission found “no documentary evidence for this call.”

Good find Gumby! There are so many things about the whole event that we'll never be told. Most will take those secrets to their graves.

Maybe he didn't lie, perhaps the facts changed...

"the fact that the facts change from time to time with respect to specifics does not surprise me or shock me at all; it is all to be expected. It is part of the intelligence world we live in."

Lying is about the only thing politicians do well.

I have a hard time believing much of anything they tell me now.

After things like the Warren Report, Yellow cake, Sadam's WMD, The USS Liberty and <Insert your favorite story here>.

still doesnt make sense why there is a scrape in the ground and only minimal debris on ground? What caused the scrape in the ground if it was hit in the air?
