Government Cover-up

Okay, I read this story and the Rumsfeld quote and I don't think the writer of the story is really getting what Rumsfeld said. I read Rumsfeld's quote and it says that the people who attacked New York shot down the Pennsylvania plane on 9/11. Maybe he didn't mean to put it that way, but it certainly doesn't sound the way the writer of this story makes it sound - that the government shot down the plane because it had been hijacked and deemed a threat to National Security:

'Here's what Rumsfeld said Friday: "I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples' heads on television to intimidate, to frighten – indeed the word 'terrorized' is just that. Its purpose is to terrorize, to alter behavior, to make people be something other than that which they want to be." '
