"The White House and Air Force One may have been targets of the terrorists responsible for the Pentagon attack, according to White House officials," CNN reports. "That is why President Bush was flown from Florida to several military bases until his security in Washington could be guaranteed. Officials say the jet that slammed into the Pentagon may have been originally destined for the White House." Fox News is also reporting. (JAMES TARANTO AND IRA STOLL, WSJ Best of the Web Today)
