I'm reading thru the tesimony of Mineta and others....(there's a LOT of it)...and trying to sort out the details of 1) who knew what about Flight 77, and when - 2)When various orders to a) scramble b)shoot or NOT shoot were given - 3)what fighters, F-15 & F16, were a)in the air, b) armed c where located -4) Flying time for any fighters available TO the Pentagon - 5)Who was a)in charge b) authorized to issue a 'shoot down' order [Gen. McKinley states there were several)

and finally, the precise sequence of all these things in relation to the actual impact.

It ain't easy, folks.....I do NOT like Cheney, but I gotta read more before I'd accuse him of intentionally allowing an attack that 'could have been' avoided.
