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 do you think they let the terrorist through the airport after they went through the mental dectors and they set the alarm off? And why don't you think they didn't keep them there to search their bags and maybe give them a different flight just to make sure they were safe?
