I did read the transcripts of (I believe) the NORAD folks on duty on 9/11. I can't find the thread or link to it, yet.
Ahh, there we go. Here is the link to the Vanity Fair article containing the NORAD transcripts. Strong language warning.
[Edit] For good measure, here is the original post made by Dave J regarding the transcript.
Here's an except.

The CT sites don't seem to understand this important item. That, and the specific order of battle that morning. They had 2 fighters at Otis, and 2 at Langley on five minute alert to cover the Northeast US. That's all they had under their command when the events started. Getting additional assets takes time and coordination, as well as the need to upload the jets. It doesn't just "happen".
