Norman Mineta on Cheney's (unknown) 'Orders'

The testimony of Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta on May 23 about Cheney's actions is revealing. Mineta said he arrived at the Presidential Emergency Operating Center (PEOC) at 9:20 a.m. where he observed the Vice President taking charge:

Mineta: There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, "The plane is 50 miles out.The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?"

And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?"
Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant. And.

Hamilton: The flight you're referring to is the.

Mineta: The flight that came into the Pentagon.

After some discussion of whether Cheney's orders meant to shoot down the hijacked aircraft, it was clearly stated on the record that there were no such orders to do so, which raises the obvious question of what "the orders" were:

Hamilton: And so there was no specific order there to shoot that plane down.

Mineta: No, sir.

Hamilton: But there were military planes in the air in position to shoot down commercial aircraft.

Mineta: That's right. The planes had been scrambled, I believe, from Otis at that point.

4. Thanks for the post. Either I never read this, or forgot it. I don't

think it needs clarification. In fact, they stood down. What's needed is Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld under oath. (--and Bush, if he can remember anything from that day.) (Do you suppose they drugged him, and that's why he looked like such a doper for 7 minutes? Maybe that's why Andrew Card resigned--he wasn't whispering to Bush about the SECOND plane; he was injecting him!)

Ah, me. I pray that our country survives all this, and that we become a better country because of it.
