[Mr. Silverback]

I think we missed the very beginning of this hearing. When the clown car arrived with all the committee members.

It's only 8:19 EDT and we already have the quote of the day!

[proud American in Canada]

"no one could have imagined them taking a plane ... using planes as a missile.

I probably should have said, "I couldn't have imagined".

To the best of my knowledge, the idea of the use of airplanes as weapons was never briefed to us.

Using planes as a weapon was not in the August 6 memo."
