Never-seen Photos of Bush and Cheney on Sept. 11, 2001, released by National Archives

The National Archives on Friday released more than 350 never-before seen photos of former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, along with top members of the Bush administration, on Sept. 11, 2001, as they reacted to the most deadly attack in terrorism in American history.

The photos, all collected on a Flickr page from the National Archives, are the most exhaustive look yet into how President Bush and his colleagues handled a tragedy beyond imagination.

Many of the pictures, which were taken by Cheney’s professional photographer, show Bush and his colleagues in varying stages of shock and solemnity as they meet in the President’s Emergency Operations Center and around the White House…
