Rumsfeld's October 12, 2001 Slip About Missile Hitting the Pentagon [View All]

[NAO]

In light of Rummy's recent slip of the tongue about 'the plane that was shot down over PA', it is interesting that Rummy also let it slip that a missile hit the Pentagon.

This comment was made on October 12, 2001 - fully SIX MONTHS before the 'missile hit the Pentagon' theory became widespread thru the publication of Thierry Meyssan's (viciously reviled) book, "Pentagate".

I came across the missile reference in David Ray Griffin's "The New Pearl Harbor", which is IMHO the best book on 9/11. On p.48, Giffin mentions the statement by Rummy about 'the missile used to damage this building (the Pentagon)'

Giffin cites the source as an interview by Parade magazine, and gives the link:
