Patridiot Watch - A Look At Today's News: "If the plane flying at the White House were really a terrorist attack and not a stupid student pilot, the President should know as early as possible. There could have been other attacks ongoing elsewhere like the Somerset, PA attack in 2001. The sooner the President is aware of a problem the sooner he gets over shock, gets briefed on the current situation and options, and can lead our nation's response.
The only reason that the President was allowed to ride happily in oblivion as Washington DC was evacuated is because the President is not involved in decision-making if we are under attack. That's scary."
