I agree it would likely have been stupid for the Prez to fly back to the
White House. But there have been criticisms, among the media. Given other
evidence (about the Pentagon dive-bombing), it looks as if the WH-as-target
theory was cooked up to deflect those criticisms. I don't think the WH has
presented any evidence for their theory.

Max, there's a rumor that you secretly work at (and for) the Pentagon. Is
this true? Were you safe?
