Cheney on 9/11 as seen from the White House bunker

[TRUTH]

Shortly before 7:00 A.M., September 11, 2001, Cheney sat for his regular CIA briefing in the small, first floor library of the vice president's residence. The session was unremarkable. On a typical day, Cheney gets into the car waiting to take him to the White House at 7:30. In a six-car motorcade that races across downtown Washington, D.C., blowing through stoplights, it takes five minutes to cover the three miles from Cheney's home at One Observatory Circle to the White House. When he arrives, he joins President Bush for his intelligence briefing at 7:45.

Cheney's solo briefing is more detailed than Bush's because the vice president asks for more material; Bush is the big picture guy, Cheney wants details. The vice president will sometimes ask questions in his briefings with Bush to make sure the president is exposed to in-depth treatment of issues Cheney deems important.

On this day, with Bush on the road, there was no intelligence briefing at the White House.

Cheney met briefly in his West Wing office with Scooter Libby, his chief of staff. Cheney was wearing a grey pinstriped suit, a crisply pressed white shirt, and a black tie with a silver, linked-chain pattern. The vice president has offices in both the White House and the Eisenhower (Old) Executive Office Building, with most of his staff located in the latter--what President Bush calls "The Ike."
