...rocks bounce," a military source says--Bush started working the phones. He called Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who refused to leave the burning Pentagon, and said they would hunt down and punish those responsible.

Their omelettes had just arrived when Tenet's security detail descended with a cell phone. "Give me the quick summary," Tenet said calmly into the phone. He listened a few moments, and then told Boren: "The World Trade Center has been hit. We're pretty sure it wasn't an accident. It looks like a terrorist act." He then got back to the phone, named a dozen people he wanted summoned to the CIA situation...
