Ken Moore at Suvu was already up

there covering Wall Street.

What's going on over at State?

Powell's in Peru.

They're working on getting

him home as soon as possible.

All right, what we need to do

is track the President.

Track his top people

and find out...

who's responsible for all this.

We need as many sources

at as many agencies...

to go on the record and tell us

all what we know has to be true.

Al Qaeda! Al Qaeda!

It's Al Qaeda.

It's definitely Al Qaeda.

What the hell are you wearing?

Well, the wifey wanted

to evacuate...

but she locked the cat

and the keys in the cars.

So, I biked in.

We need to know how

they pulled this off.

Anybody needs to go home

to their family...

feel free to do so.

Just came from the family.

Let's get to work.

It's Walcott.

Today, our fellow citizens,

our way of life...

our very freedom, came under

attack in a series...

of deliberate and deadly

terrorist acts.

Adam, hand me the

Jameson, please.

Yes, sir. Here you go.

Thank you, son.

It's on the house, gentlemen.

Thanks.

Dad's saying we're staying open

as late as they want.

MRS. GREEN:

They must be scared.

- ADAM:
They're Rangers.

- They're boys.

Our military is powerful and

it's prepared.

The search is underway

for those...

who are behind these evil acts.

I've directed the full

resources of our intelligence..

and law enforcement communities

to find those responsible...

and to bring them to justice.

JENNINGS:
It's been 33 hours

since the terrible...

and unprecedented attack

on the United States.

There is, as we've said, an

enormous search and rescue...

operation, and enormous and

intense criminal investigation.

And we're just beginning

to understand...

the extents of the catastrophe.

OFFICIAL:
I feel like I haven't

slept in a month.

It's going to be a bunch

of zombies running this town.

What do you know about

the preliminary plans...

to go after bin Laden?

I don't have anything to give

you on that yet.

Ok, well, how long before we're

on the ground in Afghanistan...

and how long do they project

we'll be there?

Look, I'm trying to get answers

to the same questions you are.

What I can say is, most of the

talk this morning...

hasn't been about Afghanistan.

Well, what's it been about?

Iraq?

I got it from a source at State

who got it from the Pentagon.

In connection with the attacks?

Crackpot theories from people

who don't know...

what the hell they're talking

about.

It was Rumsfeld.

Really?

Yeah, apparently, there's a lot

of people over at Defense...

that think this had to be

State-sponsored.

I mean, not just Rumsfeld,

there's also that smug...

son of a b*tch at the Defense
