The 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation by Ernie Colon, Sid Jacobson

4.0

Brief Illustrated summary of the 9/11 Commission Report of 2004. Definitely worth a read for historical/cultural purposes. Gives a detailed timeline of the 9/11 attacks, including how the al-Qaeda plot unfolded. While the report (or at least this summary of it) assigned blame for failures that led to the 9/11 attacks themselves, and makes recommendations for improving preparedness for and prevention of terrorist attacks, it refrains from directly addressing the failures in the response that were already glaringly apparent in 2004 (such as the Iraq War, the establishment of lawless torture zones at Guantanamo and elsewhere, etc.). I was also a little disappointed it did not have more about the establishment and performance of the Department of Homeland Security; I would have liked some sort of evaluation of how well it performs its supposed task. I was also a little surprised that the report did not mention that threats and worries of suicide airplane attacks had been floating around for at least the months leading up to 9/11 (newspapers at the time reported the G20 summit in Genoa being protected with Anti-Aircraft missiles).
