Mulling over George Pope to STEVE ASHER 28 Dec 2004

Hi George...

SA> In the speech, Rumsfeld made a passing reference to United Airlines
SA> Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted
SA> to stop al Qaeda hijackers.

SA> But in his remarks, Rumsfeld referred to the "the people who attacked
SA> the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania."

SA> A Pentagon spokesman insisted that Rumsfeld simply misspoke, but
SA> Internet conspiracy theorists seized on the reference to the plane
SA> having been shot down.

 GP> Yeah, he misspoke -- clearly, if he were trying to reveal the truth
 GP> he wouldn't have attributed the shooting down of the plane to the
 GP> terrorists, but to the scrambled air force fighter(s) in the area!

If you want to hear him "misspeak", there is a soundbite at...
