Of course, doing your best to try and use any little
discrepancy or lack of data to "prove" that the US
government did it is simply irrational.

With a lack of data and rumors circulating widely,
this is to be expected.

That is a legitimate question, but hardly one that
"proves" the US is behind it.

What on earth does that have to do with anything? If
you think the US government was willing to sacrifice
possibly tens of thousands of lives "to rally the
populace," what makes you think they'd give two shits
about which part of the Pentagon they hit?

The reports I've read indicate that he *was* whisked
away as soon as it was known the attack was
deliberate. This "looked somber and continued reading"
bit strikes me as a rumor. In any case, Cheney had to
be physically ushered to safety by the SS.
