Maybe though, Cellucci misspoke on the subject. Well it turns out that Rumsfeld also had a similar slip of the tongue and later re-tracted his statements, changing his position to coincide with the crash theory:

"Was it a slip of the tongue? Was it an error? Or was it the truth, finally being dropped on the public more than three years after the tragedy" asked a posting on the Web site WorldNetDaily.com.
Some people remain skeptical of U.S. government statements that, despite a presidential authorization, no planes were shot down September 11, and rumors still circulate that a U.S. military plane shot the airliner down over Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
This Flight 93 story is getting harder and harder for these guys to get straight - or is it just that - a story?

Congratulations to Prime Minister Martin for saying no to this nonsense. Let the US waste $1 trillion on a system that will never work and doesn't address their security concerns anyway, never mind ours.
The chances at this stage that terrorists would use ICBM are pretty damn slim I would say.
It just another way for some defense corporations to make a buck by creating an invisible enemy.
Oh, and yes.... Cellucci can put his head where the sun never shine and look for Bush in there.
Enjoy yourself. We've never had it so good.
As to the 2% of technology, most of this is in the form of military hardware that doesn't really contribute to the wealth of a country. The problem with this is that unless it gets used this type of activity can't continue to support an economy. Now that the cold war is over, you Americans are looking for any excuse to use your hardware. If you really want to see a country that has done something economically valuable with technology outside of military uses, look to Japan and not the US.
Charleston and Williamsburg? They may be fine places to live but why would anyone want to go to such boring places as a tourist? As for the other two, while there may be something of interest there you also run a high risk of getting mugged or shot since those who don't live there don't know which neighborhoods belong to blacks, hispanics, whites, etc. I would choose a city like Montreal over these anytime.
