Reply #72: Okay, interesting idea. Then why doesn't Mineta set the

record straight?

But even if Mineta is wrong, both Cheney (and, I believe, Clarke) say Cheney
got to the bunker before 9:37.

Given that the 9/11 Commission apparently made up the story about phantom flight
11 (to explain why fighters were scrambled but failed to intercept 77), given
that the Commission's motivation for claiming Cheney's late arrival at the bunker
appears to be to protect him from accusations that he ordered 93 shot down, and
given the possibility that the reports of the phantom flight might be due to war
game artifacts, and given Mineta's failure to recant, I have a hard time giving the
Commission more credibility than Mineta.
