The 9/11 Report has plenty of things like this to say about Rudy:

The OEM’s headquarters was located at 7WTC. Some questioned locating it both so close to a previous terrorist target and on the 23rd floor of a build= ing (difficult to access should elevators become inoperable). There was no backup site.28

OR even this:

Nevertheless, the FDNY and NYPD each considered itself operationally autonomous.As of September 11, they were not prepared to comprehensively coordinate their efforts in responding to a major incident.The OEM had not overcome this problem.

But does not say anything like this about the response at the Pentagon:

While no emergency response is flawless, the response to the 9/11 terror= ist attack on the Pentagon was mainly a success for three reasons: first, the strong professional relationships and trust established among emergency responders; second, the adoption of the Incident Command System; and third, the pursuit of a regional approach to response. Many fire and police agencies that responded had extensive prior experience working together on regional events and training exercises. Indeed, at the time preparations were under way at many of these agencies to ensure public safety at the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank scheduled to be held later that month in Washington,D.C.19
