One of those quirky 9/11 facts...

...that always piqued my curiosity is the fact that the White House Situation Room director was actually travelling with Bush to Florida. This would be a very important position in this kind of crisis. Does anybody here know if this was the first time this had happened? It seems like a weird thing for a person in that position to do.
