but did we know it was an attack at that time or was it the first plane? ... if tombrokaw knew it was an attack after the first plane, then he's got some 'splaining to do

No. Brokaw is talking about after the SECOND plane hit and Andy Card interrupted the President and whispered to him "A second plane has his the second tower. America is under attack." At that point the President waited for 7 minutes as the story was read to the schoolchildren. Kerry criticized the President for waiting (on the heels of Michael Moore's use of the footage in F911) and said he would have excused himself right then and there. This is what Brokaw was weighing in on this morning when he said that he would have actually told these kids "America is under attack."

Don't know about Tom but Kerry knew. Read this and tell me if this doesn't sound like bragging. Kinda like a "nanner, nanner momment" for Kerry.

KERRY to Larry King: I knew instantaneously with the first. I'm a pilot, and I looked at
the weather, and it's what we call in pilot lingo CAVU, ceiling and
visibility unlimited. And I knew that that plane did not fly into that
building accidentally, as people were speculating. It just doesn't happen,
could not, under those circumstances. So I knew it was deliberate, whether
it was suicide, whether it was something -- I couldn't tell. When the second
plane hit, it was obvious to the world.
