The 9/11 Report

I have a few minutes to spare before I rush off to my meeting with Craig so I figured I'd post a bit...finally some "free time"!!! I'm going to do my opinion since the book isn't currently with me.

I enjoyed reading The 9/11 Report. I found the background information on the terrorists to be extremely insightful. I knew that Al Queda was "old news", but I don't recall ever hearing about it until after the attacks. I like knowing the big picture and seeing what went into the planning. I can't believe that with all the information we have now, we couldn't stop the attacks from happening. It was also shocking to hear that Clinton had information on Osama and Al Queda and didn't do much about it. He just sort of passed a little on to Bush basically saying "oh yeah watch out for this guy." I found that being given the information in this format made it much easier to understand.... and to not fall asleep while in the middle of it! If the information was in plain black and white, simply letters on a page, I don't think I could've kept my train of thought going long enough to enjoy the information. The spread sheets were great. Though they seemed a little juvenile (which I didn't notice until Craig pointed out!), they did a fantastic job at showing us what was going on on each flight simultaneously.

Oh gotta go!!!
