Annotated Bibliography of Government Documents Related to the Threat
of Terrorism and the Attacks of September 11, 2001 [.pdf]
http://www.odl.state.ok.us/usinfo/terrorism/911.htm
This impressive bibliography has been compiled by Kevin D. Motes (US Government
Information Division, Oklahoma Department of Libraries). It focuses on the US
federal documents on terrorism and most specifically on attacks on the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon. All documents are described with concise
annotations and available through the Federal Depository system. Many, if not
most, of these publications are available via the Web. The materials are
arranged alphabetically by title within each of the seven sections (Aftermath,
Congressional and Presidential Actions, Global Terrorism, International
Politics, National Security, US Foreign Relations, and Weapons of Mass
Destruction). Although available in a very limited print version with a steep
price (300 hundred copies with each costing $502.39!!!), this reviewer will be
certain to bookmark this reference tool. One might hope for a comprehensive
index perhaps in a future edition, but that is a relatively modest quibble.
Anyone even moderately interested in the US response to terrorism will
definitely find enough to keep himself/herself busy for a long, long time. [Scout

Special Analysis:
The War Against Terrorism
"The 21st Century began on September 11, 2001. In June 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo precipitated the first war that would define the 20th Century. The attack of September 11 will be the precipitating moment of a new kind of war that will define a new century. This war will be fought in shadows, and the adversary will continue to target the innocent and defenseless." www.terrorism.com/index.html

"One of the most meaningful features to appear in The New York
Times and on NYTimes.com is Portraits
of Grief. This feature first began running on September 15 and
presented brief profiles of World Trade Center victims. On December 31
the final daily edition of Portraits of Grief appeared in The New York
Times newspaper. A book will be published this year, and the feature
will continue to appear from time to time, as more names become known
and more families agree to interviews."
