Interesting replay
Just noticed something odd in MSNBC's annual replay of the 9/11 event this morning.
"Here in Florida, the President was getting ready to attend an education event, which has obviously been canceled. He was told of the attack while in his hotel, and we believe he will be making a brief statement soon."
This definitely disagrees with the (apparently!) actual situation, in which Sultan Bush was reading a story to schoolkids, heard about the attack from Andy Card, and continued reading for several minutes.
Was "told in his hotel" true, was it an attempted cover story by Bush staffers who quickly realized how stupid the real situation looked, or was it a misassumption by the reporter? ¶ 6:26 AM
