writes today:
<blockquote>In a documentary soon to appear on Showtime, “The World
According to Dick Cheney,” [Cheney said] “I got on the telephone with
the president, who was in Florida, and told him not to be at one
location where we could both be taken out.” Mr. Cheney kept W. flying
aimlessly in the air on 9/11 while he and Lynn left on a helicopter for a
secure undisclosed location, leaving Washington in a bleak, scared
silence, with no one reassuring the nation in those first terrifying
hours.
“I gave the instructions that we’d authorize our pilots to take it
out,” he says, referring to the jet headed to Washington that crashed in
a Pennsylvania field. He adds: “After I’d given the order, it was
pretty quiet. Everybody had heard it, and it was obviously a significant
moment.”

When they testified together before the 9/11 Commission, W. and Mr. Cheney
kept up a pretense that in a previous call, the president had authorized the vice
president to give a shoot-down order if needed. But the commission found
“no documentary evidence for this call.”
</blockquote>
In other words, Cheney pretended that Bush had authorized a
shoot-down order, but Cheney now admits that he never did. In fact,
Cheney acted as if he was the president on 9/11. *
Cheney lied about numerous other facts related to 9/11 as well. For example, Cheney:
* Indeed, Cheney initiated Continuity of Government plans on 9/11 which essentially nullified America’s constitutional form of government.Source:-http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/03/cheney-admits-that-he-lied-about-911.html
