Mary Matalin, aide to Vice President Dick Cheney: One of the strange things that didn’t occur to me until the first anniversary was how much I didn’t know was going on. I did not have the perspective seeing what the American public was seeing. When I watched the coverage on the first anniversary, I couldn’t stop crying. I was shocked. We weren’t watching TV. We weren’t watching people jumping out of buildings. We didn’t see all the chaos that the American people were seeing. It frightens me to the core to think what America must have been feeling watching that. We weren’t exposed to it.
