Remember way back to the days just following 9/11, when then-VP Dick Cheney was said to be holed up in an undisclosed location? Joe Biden, current VP and never one to be said to be tight-lipped, apparently, according to Newsweek, has revealed just where the then-Cheney, now-Biden, bunker really is.
Joe Biden apparently related a story about how he was shown the room / bunker by a young naval officer when Biden filled in for President Barack Obama at the Gridiron Club earlier this year.
In all seriousness, it's not really that much of the surprise, as the Biden bunker is at the Naval Observatory in Washington, DC, home to Biden and previously home to Cheney. It's secured behind a massive steel door and is filled with communications equipment.
In fact, in December 2002, neighbors of the Naval Observatory complained of loud construction work being done at the site. Residents said they believed workers were digging deep into the ground, which would support Biden's report of a secret bunker.
However, all the neighbors were told at the time is that the work was "sensitive in nature" and "classified" and that it was urgent it be completed "on a highly accelerated schedule."
Of course, that was quite some time after 9/11, so the question is: is this in fact where Cheney holed up after 9/11? It wouldn't seem to be the case, but it sure is the case that Biden blew the current bunker secret.
