Vice President Joe Biden may have inadvertently revealed the location of his top-secret bunker. The Biden bunker remark came during a dinner in Washington, published reports indicate.
Biden Bunker Revelation
Joe Biden apparently discussed the secret bunker during a Gridiron Club dinner. Reports suggest the vice president described an emergency hiding spot beneath the official vice presidential home, the former U.S. Naval Observatory. The location is believed to be where Dick Cheney was taken in the days following the 9/11 attacks.
A story by Newsweek editor Eleanor Clift states that Biden said he was recently given a tour of the facility. It is “behind a massive steel door secured by an elaborate lock with a narrow hallway lined with shelves filled with communications equipment,” she writes.
“The officer explained that when Cheney was in lock down, this was where his most trusted aides were stationed, an image that Biden conveyed in a way that suggested we shouldn’t be surprised that the policies that emerged were off the wall,” Clift says. | Sounds like the same room Cheney had already disclosed in the interview on MTP (cited above). Which, if that is the case, means Biden "revealed" nothing that was not already disclosed from Cheney himself.
Clift was not even at the table when the conversation happened. She is going by someone else's account, which has been questioned. Sounds like a case of the Telephone Game (which could be one of the bazillion different explanations you alluded to).
I agree that Biden has said things in the past that probaby should not have been spoken aloud. However, this particular instance is not (IMO) one of them. |
