Thomas Kean of the 911 commision was a former director of Fiduciary Trust.
A jet from a Buffett subsidiary company, NetJets was shadowing flight 93 over Pennsylvania.
Dick Cheney tells Mr Bush to stay out of DC- he lands at Orfutt Air Force Base after touching down in Louisiana.

Democratic commission member Richard Ben-Veniste disclosed this week that Rice had asked, in her private meetings with the commission, to revise a statement she made publicly that "I don't think anybody could have predicted that those people could have taken an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center . . . that they would try to use an airplane as a missile." Rice told the commission that she misspoke; the commission has received information that prior to Sept. 11, U.S. intelligence agencies and Clarke had talked about terrorists using airplanes as missiles.
Ms Rice, you should testify under oath or quit. Obviously as National Security Advisor you were "out of the loop" information wise concerning the national security of the United States of America.
Or you are a liar.
