At a press conference just before he—resigned to spend more time with his family—Rumsfeld said, "...the plane that was shot down over Pennsylvania, uh, the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania..." That was quite a Freudian slip. The first person on the "crash" scene was the county sheriff who famously said and I paraphrase: I have seen plane crashes and that was no plane crash; it was a smoking hole in the ground. The debris field was quite large indicating that an air to air missile may have been used.

Yup, Rummy, also a day before 9/11 said "I would never so much as attack the Pentagon."

And then smiled. I have the video saved. He basically knew 9/11 would happen and he knew contractors were going to do it. His goal was to have 9/11 amalgamate DoD agencies into one compartmentalized body. 9/11 did just that.
