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.

    many government officials had information about the 9/11 attacks such as bush's pdb or clinton not stopping bin laden earlier. who is to be blamed the most for why this was not stopped?

    how was the army, milatary and air force not paying attention to who got one the planes. i think that the should start checking for weapons and stuff more often. i think it was our fault some what for not stopping them faster from destroying it earlier.

    If we knew they had made threats towards us before, why did they take no action to stop it. Yes, they made up plans but they NEVER followed through on them, and they sit here and wonder why? they should of done something, instead of nothing!
