2. Cape Cod News had the Otis Air -no order to shoot down - story - that
went to print without that quote from the ground crew (who "heard it from the pilots") but still did have the timing and procedure story -

a story that put the lie to Pentagon Testimony to Congress that the planes went at max speed to NY - but just got there late - since max speed and they get there is plenty of time - and given the late arrival and the starting time would have had to have been told to power down as no shoot down order from Bush would be coming.

I mean - like Bush had this photo op and needed to read a book to kids -

And our National Media says nothing.

By the way - the pilots are no longer talking to anyone - on or off the record - and I am not even sure the original ground crew with the loose lips is still there!
