CHENEY 9/11 PHOTOS SHOW NORMAN MINETA’S ARRIVAL TO THE PEOC AT 10:15 by DC Wince
After carefully reviewing the new Cheney photo series on the Flikr website, I’ve discovered three which appear to completely disprove my previous theory about Mineta going to the PEOC with Cheney at about 9:36 on the morning of 9/11, however, it still leaves open the possibility of Mineta lying about the time of his arrival, except for reasons which may be entirely of his own.
The three photos I will now present appear to show Norman Mineta’s arrival to the PEOC, and that the time was approximately 10:15!
If you look closely at this photo, in the upper right corner you can see Mineta entering the PEOC. Cheney is already there, in discussion with Scooter Libby and an unidentified man:

In this next photo, you can see that Mineta is directly in front of the camera, about to take a seat opposite Cheney, who is looking at him:

With this next photo, I will explain how we know approximately what time this was. First, you can see that Cheney has his left hand up to his face as he ponders the events of the morning or watches a TV screen. In the previous photos showing Mineta entering and taking his seat, you can see Cheney also has his left hand to his face. Next, the woman standing behind him is on the phone, the same as in the previous two photos. Lastly, if you look closely at Scooter Libby’s wristwatch, you can see that the time is almost 10:20, possibly 10:18:

Therefore, I conclude that from the time of the first photo of Norman Mineta’s arrival, to the last showing almost 10:20, could not have been more than 5-10 minutes at most. Which means that Mineta arrived to the PEOC by approximately 10:10 or 10:15, almost an hour difference from what he testified to the 9/11 Commission!
This blog entry will be updated soon with my attempt to explain the reasons why Mineta may have lied or been so very confused about the time of his arrival to the PEOC…
