Cheney just makes things up ... nytimes.com The confusion was illustrated in a telephone exchange between Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld that began at 10:30 a.m., almost an hour after the Pentagon was struck and, although they did not know it, 27 minutes after Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. Mr. Cheney said he had given authorization for hijacked airliners to be shot down. "Has that directive been transmitted to the aircraft?" Mr. Rumsfeld asked. "Yes, it has," Mr. Cheney replied, unaware that the fighter pilots from Langley had not been so instructed. A moment later, Mr. Cheney said, "it's my understanding they've already taken a couple aircraft out." "We can't confirm that," Mr. Rumsfeld replied.
