Mineta 911 Testimony - Cheney Stand-down Order
Started 2005-07-27Ended 2005-07-27
Norman Mineta was in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) on September 11th terror attacks. He stated that just before the plane hit the pentagon that a man was giving Dick Cheney updates as to how far the plane was away from the pentagon. Just before the plane (or what ever it was) hit the pentagon the man asked Cheney if “the orders still stand” which Cheney bitterly replies “Of course”.
Exact testimony:
““During the time that the airplane was coming into the Pentagon, there was a young man who would come in and say to the Vice President…the plane is 50 miles out…the plane is 30 miles out….and when it got down to the plane is 10 miles out, the young man also said to the vice president “do the orders still stand?” And the Vice President turned and whipped his neck around and said “Of course the orders still stand, have you heard anything to the contrary!?”
