Discussion Question Thread

Here's your chance to write a blog post for others to comment on and discuss...
Each of you must submit one discussion question on any topic or subject relevant to the book. Your post can be a question about the events of 9/11, the background on Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, the recommendations of the report, the book itself (such as the artwork, layout or dialog). It can ask the students to share their opinion or identify their favorite or most interesting parts of the book.

The questions should all be "open-ended" in the sense that they should not require specific or one word answers. Make it the kind of question that might spark a discussion.

I will choose a couple of the questions from the comment thread and make them into blog posts for others to respond.

  1. Why wouldn't we just act way earlier when we knew that bin laden was already planning to do some kind of attack ?

  7. I would have to agree with Kayla. I don't see why we didn't make the security and protection in public areas way more advance when we knew what Bin Laden was trying to do. If we knew that he was planning some sort of an attack since newspapers from the past, then we should have done something about it. But most of all should have made more protection for the people and citizens in the United States.

  8. Why didn't we do much, when we knew Bin Ladin and his crew were up to something?
