What happened to the reports of U.S. Congressional delegation in Baghdad?

Supposedly, they were supposed to be at a meeting at the U.N. in Baghdad at the time of the bombing, but were delayed. Did this turn out to be false? There has been no mention of it in the media. I know the U.S. media would never ever SPECULATE about anything, but it seems worth mentioning that several U.S. representatives had a close call.

Cantwell, D-Wash., had been scheduled to meet Tuesday with the official, Sergio Vieira de Mello. The meeting was to have taken place a few hours before the bomb exploded at about 4:30 p.m. local time, Cantwell said.

The session was scrapped because the plane she and other lawmakers were traveling on was delayed on a flight from Jordan. The meeting was to have been at the military headquarters used by the U.S.-led forces in Iraq, about 5 miles from the U.N. site, Cantwell said.

After landing in Baghdad in mid-afternoon, Cantwell and the envoy tentatively set up a telephone call for about 6 p.m. local time. The call never took place.

At a teleconference Tuesday night from Kuwait, where she and other lawmakers were flown for their own safety, Cantwell speculated that Vieira de Mello might not have been killed if the meeting had taken place as scheduled. "It's hard to say," she said, adding that the envoy may have stayed at the military headquarters long enough to have avoided the attack.
