CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - Hundreds of searchers combed an area in east Texas on Thursday for a top-secret object from the doomed shuttle Columbia while Vice President Dick Cheney paid tribute to the seven dead astronauts. <p>***Coincidence?***<p>[ February 07, 2003: Message edited by: blanp ]</p>

The dateline implies that Cheney paid tribute from Cape Canaveral. Is this true, or did he speak from his "undisclosed location"?

Then I'd say the writer tried too hard to combine too many "shuttle" stories into one catch-all piece ... which AP routinely tries to do and probably shouldn't. <p>At the very least, the second graf should have read, "Meanwhile, Vice President Dick Cheney paid tribute to the fallen astronauts at the National Cathedral in Washington ... "
