I'm gonna pretend to be a journalist now
Here's my question:

Why was there a mass evacuation at the capital today when a small plane flew into restricted airspace but there was no reaction to Flt # 93 when it was clearly headed to the capital on 9-11 and there were already 2 known highjacked planes hitting buildings at that point? Are there protocols in place today that weren't in place on 9-11 and if so what are they? If not, how do you explain the difference in reaction?


My dream question:

Why did it take two planes to hit the WTC before the President decided we were attacked? With all of the intelligence and warning we now know of, why wasn't it clear after the first plane hit and 3 others were highjacked?

Can someone out there besides Helen Thomas get a clue already?

6. Dream answers
a) Tom Delay probe wasn't as on fire as it is this week
b) Frist wasn't about to 'go nuclear' on the Democratic Senators
c) Bolton for UN Ambassador didn't ring so clear four years ago.

But I'm being cynical....

You did hear about the grenade didn't you? No time to talk about what is happening in DC right now, the President was in HARMS WAY!
