9/17 Many have probably already heard this, but I just found out. Any-
one think it may be possible that they shot down that jet in Penn?

This article also has a great Bush quote:
"My administration has a job to do...We will rid the world of evil
doers."
\_ I heard this before (probably on the motd), but it seems kind of
unlikely given:
1) there is evidence that the passengers on flight 93 knew about the
previous attacks that day and had planned to retake control of
the airplane. given that there were ~5-6 hijackers, armed only
with knives, I think it's unlikely the passengers failed.
2) there isn't a strong motivation for covering it up. it would
have been good press for quick government response.

\_ That reminds me of the movie "Executive Decision" where the
President considered shooting down a hijacked plane.
