Cheney Coup

To update you on the coup staged by VPOTUS Cheney on 9/11 Daily Kos has clips from the 9/11 report. I have not been able to determine where Cheney fits in the military chain of command or if he has the power to order military actions without approval of the POTUS. I think it is clear that Cheney made the decision to shoot down planes by himself and that this is why he and Shrub testified together with the 9/11 commission. Bush did not know what happened and needed Cheney there to fill him in and make sure their stories matched. No wonder commissioners walked out on the bogus meeting.
