They just can't avoid using the word "missile" in public. Day 1 of the 911 Commission. Gorelick to Rumsfeld: "So my question is: In this summer of threat, what did you do to protect, let's just say the Pentagon, from attack? Where were our aircraft when a M-I-S-S-I-L-E is heading toward the Pentagon? Surely that is within the Pentagon's responsibility to protect -- force protection, to protect our facilities, to protect something -- our headquarters, the Pentagon. Is there anything that we did at the Pentagon to prevent that harm in the spring and summer of '01?" (Washington Post; emphasis mine)
