Blog 4: Terriorism: The Man Who Knew

Describe the terrorist events that led up to September 11, 2001. What did the FBI know? Were there any warnings? Do you believe the attack on the Twin Towers could have been prevented? How should the U.S. use this information for the future?


An American embassy was bombed, as were there other bombing and bombing attempts. The FBI knew that there were terrorist groups that were plotting attacks on the US. They also knew some, if not most, of the members of those groups that played larger roles. There is much that would need to be done for the United States to have been able to prevent the attack on the Twin Towers. I, myself, am not certain whether or not the attack could have been prevented though because I'm not sure what kind of precautions would be set up to be take down a plane if you were not to know exactly where the plane would be hijacked and taken to. The way the US is currently using the information they have is somewhat extremely while still need even though it directly affects our economic freedom.

  1. I don't understand your last sentence. Use information and details from the film. Your thoughts are vague and you don't use any names, places, dates, etc.
