So the, the aide kept returning to the room asking Cheney if the order to shoot down the plane was still in effect? Is that what's being said here?
I need to see some links to reasonable argument that Cheney's aide kept coming back to ask if the shootdown order still stood. I haven't seen the argument here, so please link to it if it is out there somewhere.
The #1 man at the Dept of Transportation was in the room with Cheney at the time, and that man quoted Cheney verbatim. The evidence is all on the table, and the best analysts have concluded that Cheney could only have been talking about an order to override protocol.
