The visit is mentioned in the Washington Post today, but Anneke Green the Washington Times mentioned it Tuesday: a little more than a year ago, before the Situation Room was used for monitoring the bin Laden operation, rapper/popstars Jay-Z and Beyoncé got to visit, with Jay-Z posing at the head of the table.

(If the bin Laden photos had been released yesterday, they almost certainly would have been in the Post, and would have instantly become the most memorable image of the events. Instead, we get a epic-length series of essays analyzing the interior design, food choices, body language, and etiquette depicted in the photograph of the president and his team.)

Good to see that the Situation Room is being used for more than photo ops these days.
