Here is the link to the CNN transcript.

Of course, CNN did not make the connection that Rummy had let it slip out that flight 93 had been shot down, in contradiction to the official story.

It's also interesting to note that Rummy made a comment in late 2001 about "the missle that damaged the Pentagon". This guy is too honest to be in the Bush administration.

DAY OF INFAMY 2001
Rumsfeld says 9-11 plane
'shot down' in Pennsylvania
During surprise Christmas Eve trip, defense secretary contradicts official story

WASHINGTON – Ever since Sept. 11, 2001, there have been questions about Flight 93, the ill-fated plane that crashed in the rural fields of Pennsylvania.

The official story has been that passengers on the United Airlines flight rushed the hijackers in an effort to prevent them from crashing the plane into a strategic target – possibly the U.S. Capitol.

During his surprise Christmas Eve trip to Iraq, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld referred to the flight being shot down – long a suspicion because of the danger the flight posed to Washington landmarks and population centers.

Was it a slip of the tongue? Was it an error? Or was it the truth, finally being dropped on the public more than three years after the tragedy of the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000?

8. The actual quote

"I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples' heads on television to intimidate, to frighten – indeed the word 'terrorized' is just that. Its purpose is to terrorize, to alter behavior, to make people be something other than that which they want to be."

So, who exactly shot down the plane?

[IndyOp]

12. Yeah, thanks to the Bushies we do

"all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who... 'terrorized'... to alter behavior, to make people be something other than that which they want to be."

:grr:

10. cnn mentioned this in passing the other day

said something about it being fodder for internet conspiracy theorists - guess they were trying to spin it right from the start....

[NAO]

13. Why does CNN shill for the official version - that is not journalism

When evidence comes out that the official 911 story is a lie, the news media overlooks it or calls it "fodder for conspiracy theorists".

That is not journalism.

14. RAW STORY has story, also link to news article mentioned in WND

Questions surrounding the crash of Flight 93 are nothing new, and not the exclusive province of conspiracy theorists. On Sept. 14, 2001, The (Bergen County, N.J.) Record reported that five eyewitnesses said they had seen a second plane at the Flight 93 crash site.

“As soon as we looked up, we saw a midsized jet flying low and fast,” one witness said. “It appeared to make a loop or part of a circle, and then it turned fast and headed out. ” Two witnesses described the plane as a Lear-jet type, with engines mounted near the tail and painted white with no identifying markings.

“If you were here to see it, you’d have no doubt,” the witness told the newspaper. “It was a jet plane,

and it had to be flying real close when that 757 went down. If I was the FBI, I’d find out who was driving that plane. ”
