Did you listen to VP Cheney's interview this morning on _Meet the
Press_? Because Pres. Bush was out of town, as soon as word of the
hijackings reached the White House, the Secret Service whisked* the VP to
the bunker under the WH, from where he called AF1 and told the Pres. that
he should not return to Washington but go to a secure location, in
accordance with the plans that had been made for a situation in which
Washington was targeted for attack. That is also why VP Cheney has spent
much of the past week at Camp David: so no single attack could get both
the Pres. and VP.
Spin as far as I am concerned. The pres should have been getting back to Wash DC. If someone needed to be elsewhere get Cheney out of town. Dick told W what to do and W listened. Should have been the other way around.
