Sean Hannity said, Barbara Olson (Wife of Ted Olson) Was On One Of Those Hijacked Airplanes

Somehow, a terrible tragedy grows even more terrible.

My prayers are with Ted Olsen.

RIP Barbara Olsen. You were a valiant warrior for our cause and your contribution shall never be forgotten.

This is a huge loss.

You are correct - it just got even worse.

RIP - Barbara Olsen.

I feel so sick - just as I know many of you do, too.

We shall miss you so much, Barbara. God comfort your family.

Just think about how many more people we are going to know... I got that same sick feeling that you got!

She was a warrior for our cause.

It should have been Hitlary!!!!!

OMG my heart and prayers go out to Ted.

What a horrible way to die. I'm afraid the news is going to get worse and worse.

Barbara was a FReeper, named BKO.

She was also a friend. My wife and I cried upon hearing the news.

I just heard that !! NOW it has really impacted me. Barbara Olsen was a bright face with the words of truth and logic. She will be missed.

Somehow, when you put a face to this horrible event, it humanizes it.

We must continue to lift up all the people who are now suffering loss. Pray for our leader's like never before. I know American's will all band together...today will go down in infamy like never before. Another reminder that every day counts. Another chance to do the right thing. God ...bless our land.

Plane crashes into Pentagon; troops deployed in response to apparent terrorist attack

By Associated Press, 9/11/2001 14:55

WASHINGTON (AP) The Pentagon took a direct, devastating hit from an aircraft and the enduring symbols of American power were evacuated Tuesday as an apparent terrorist attack quickly spread fear and chaos in the nation's capital.

President Bush ordered the nation's military to ''high-alert status,'' and vowed to ''hunt down and punish those responsible'' for parallel attacks in Washington and New York, where the World Trade Center collapsed into rubble with a heavy loss of life.

The president was in Florida at the time of the attacks, and was flown at midday to the safety of a military installation, Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. The top leaders of Congress were led to the safety of an undisclosed location, guards armed with automatic weapons patrolled the White House grounds and military aircraft secured the skies above the capital.

The nerve center of the nation's military burst into flames and a portion of one side of the five-sided structure collapsed when the plane reported hijacked and carrying a number of passengers struck in midmorning. Secondary explosions were reported in the aftermath of the attack and great billows of smoke drifted skyward toward the Potomac River and the city beyond.

''The fire was intense,'' Rear Adm. Craig Quigley, the Pentagon spokesman, told reporters in a makeshift briefing at a service station across the street from the building. At midday, local hospitals reported receiving 40 victims of the attack, with seven patients in critical condition admitted to one facility for treatment of burns.

''The whole building shook'' with the impact, said Terry Yonkers, an Air Force civilian employee at work inside the Pentagon at the time of the attack. ''There was screaming and pandemonium,'' he said, but the evacuation ordered shortly afterward was carried out smoothly.

Law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the plane that struck the Pentagon was an American Airlines jetliner that had taken off from Dulles International Airport on a scheduled flight to Los Angeles.

Officials said one of the passengers was Barbara Olson, the wife of Solicitor General Theodore Olson, who argues President Bush's cases before the Supreme Court.

Vice President Dick Cheney was in Washington and he and first lady Laura Bush were taken to an undisclosed secure location, officials said. Congressional leaders were hustled away from the Capitol to safety.

''The leadership of the Defense Department is OK. The secretary (Donald H. Rumsfeld) is OK,'' Pentagon spokesman Glenn Flood told reporters.

Authorities immediately began deploying troops, including a regiment of light infantry, in response to an attack for which they said there had been no advance warning.

The departments of Justice, State, Treasury and Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency were evacuated an estimated 20,000 at the Pentagon alone. Agents with automatic weapons patrolled the White House grounds.

And the FAA ordered the entire nationwide air traffic system shut down for the first time in history.

Officials said two planes had crashed into the World Trade Center, and a third into the Pentagon. A fourth plane crashed 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, and one lawmaker, Rep. James Moran, D-Va., said after a Marine Corps briefing that ''it was apparently intended to Camp David,'' the presidential retreat in the mountains of Maryland.

Armed personnel secured the runway at Barksdale Air Force Base when Bush's plane touched down there. After a short stay on the ground, Bush's plane prepared to take off once again, to an undisclosed destination.

Bush and others spoke freely about terrorism being the cause, and already there was speculation about those responsible.

One U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said there were unspecified indications that Osama bin Laden's organization was responsible.

But finally assessing responsibility was likely months if not years down the road, and in the meantime, there was no attempt to minimize the impact.

The military was ordered to ''Threat Level Delta,'' the highest level, at least in the Washington area, according to Air Force Capt. Tatiana Stead at Andrews Air Force Base.

''This is the second Pearl Harbor. I don't think that I overstate it,'' said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., referring to the attack 60 years ago that surprised the nation's intelligence apparatus and propelled the country into World War II.

''In my view, this has been an intelligence failure,'' said Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., adding that the Senate Intelligence Committee had no indication the attacks were coming.

With Bush away from the capital, his advisers were preparing a list of options, including closing the nation's borders, according to a senior U.S. official.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said it was premature to discuss military options because investigators were still trying to determine who was responsible for the attacks.

Away from the Pentagon, unexplained explosions were reported in the vicinity of the State Department and the Capitol. They apparently were no more than sonic booms.

A torrent of people rushed from their office buildings throughout the nation's capital, eager to leave a city under siege. The cell phone networks were overloaded, clusters of people sprayed on the sidewalks and at least one suburban school district announced plans to close early.

The Pentagon was hit a short while after the World Trade Center was struck. a plane, described by witnesses as a jetliner, made impact in the portion of the building on side opposite from where Rumsfeld's office are located.

I just feel so bad, I can't stop the tears.....I believe it's going to get much worse......from what is left of NYC....God Bless Barbara and Ted....My heart and prayers go out to them...I think I need to go to church.

I called my sister as soon as I heard this; we're both devastated by this news. She was the BEST!!

I didn't think this day could get any worse...my prayers go out to Ted Olsen...Barbara's death is a horrible loss. I'll bite my tongue on further comments.

RIP Barbara.

I'm afraid there will be many more well known public figures who were killed by these terrorist attacks on America.

GOD BLESS AMERICA.

If this turns out to be true, I am very sad, very sorry for her family - I can see her now as we often did, on television giving her point of view. Giulianni ( R ) gave a very skillful, informative and confidence building public address and press conference. Too bad I cannot say that of others. I have relatives who were resident just blocks from the area, also there could be a possibility that at least one of my relatives could have been present in the building at the time but this has not been verified despite phone calls. As John McCain said, this is an act of war. Many, manny others such as myself wrote publicly two years ago of this very, in fact exact, type of terrorist act using a US flight to hit the Trade Center in New York after the bombing of the same building did not cause the massive murders that terrorists wished to accomplish - something that we should have been prepared for, something for which our intelligence has failed us. My immediate reaction to those Palestinians who are celebrating in the streets and handing out candies, is that they would also kill our people given the chance and so are also responsible, and I would react with a military strike upon them considering we have under gone an attack upon our soil and people which is an act of war and we must now engage in war by taking our soldiers and sailors beyond our borders to kill those who have and will do this to our people. Of course, this would be politically incorrect. Mind you, it would not have been totally inconceivable that one of these planes that were hijacked could have had terrorist occupants who could have caused more massive destruction by arming their bodies with some explosive devises, and considering our lack of security, with a nuclear device of some type. We do not know which group is responsible, suspect is Muslim terrorists, but as far as I am concerned those Palestinians are now at total war with our people and we must approach them in this manner. Again, this is the consequences that result when we have no borders. This is the consequences of a total failure in intelligence and security. The taped statement by the President was not the rectitude that I would look for from a leader, I am sorry to say, a high school student could have done as well. I would like to see a military strike against Afghanistan where Osama Bin Laden is resident, despite Bin Laden claiming he has nothing to do with this terrorist act. In fact, he may not be responsible, or for that matter a right-wing or left-wing group, domestic, could be likely, we really do not know. But we must show that this terrorism will not be accepted without consequence to ALL TERRORISTS whether responsible or not since they all seem to be in league with those who want to destroy our nation and make war on our nation, and this includes China. As far as I am concerned, we are now at war. Lastly, the last person I want to see giving a public opinion on this matter is Hillary Clinton, her husband and her kissy-footing with Arafat disqualify her as far as I am concerned and she is also indirectly, through her husband's previous administration, responsible for our lack of security as much as the Bush Administration is responsible for the same now.
