Flight 93 : The Truth Always Comes Out.
I believe most Americans, deep in their hearts, know that Flight 93 was probably shot down. The evening of 9/11/01 I commented to one friend on the phone that yes, it probably was shot down and it was probably a good thing that we don't KNOW it was shot down.
A columnist for a local paper reports a slip-of-the-tongue by Don Rumsfeld that offers some evidence.
How this has slipped under my radar for so long is beyond me. And given the mainstream media's obsession with chasing down irrelevant details, how is it that this was not all over the evening news?
There's other interesting stuff in the article, especially this excerpt that, if true, makes the official version impossible:
Debris from the wreckage was found scattered over an 8-mile area, and a 1,000-pound section of an engine fan was found more than a mile from the crash site [ my emphasis] . This is consistent with an external explosion that separated a half ton section of one of the engines and tore open a portion of the passenger cabin and cargo hold.
. Unfortunately, the author doesn't list his sources, so we don't know if it came from legitimate news organizations or from paranoid ranters or liars.

If you're wondering why more hasn't been made of this, the full quote is instructive. He did not even come close to implying that the US military shot down the plane:
"And I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples’ heads on television to intimidate, to frighten – indeed the word “terrorized” is just that. Its purpose is to terrorize, to alter behavior, to make people be something other than that which they want to be."
Of course the terrorists didn't "shoot down" the plane, they crashed it as the passengers attemtped to gain control. That was the misspeaking - he said shot down when he should have said crashed. In any case, he was referring to the terrorists not the US military.
