The Secret Service anticipated keeping President Bush at Offutt Air Force Base for several days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack if necessary, the 9/11 Commission's final report says.

Instead, the president left Offutt after less than two hours in Nebraska.

Does anyone have a microscope so that we could see sKerry's pair?

I often wonder what became of this report.

"Adding to the confusion was "a reported threat against Air Force One itself, a threat eventually run down to a misunderstood communication in the hectic White House Situation Room that morning."

Microscopes can only magnify what is there-it cannot create what doesn't exist.
