My Homework!

For discussion

What questions do you have about the reading? How might they be answered?
    Why? Can anyone really answer that? Can they even answer that? Perhaps if we put together both information from both sides we can get the answer.


What is President Obama's answer? Brennan's?
    In the reading President Obama Doesn’t really answer the question of why. He says how the terrorists are increasingly recruiting people to do their bidding. And Brennan avoided her question, or so it seemed to me. He kept trying to give it a different act, but when confronted as to why, he quickly side-stepped to another question.


Thomas was clearly dissatisfied with Brennan's answer. Why? Would she have been satisfied with the president's? Why or why not?
    She was dissatisfied because he DIDN’T answer her. It was probably just because he didn’t have an answer for her. How was he supposed to know why crazy terrorist’s do what they do? I do not think she would have been. No one can really answer the answer as to why, except maybe the terrorists them selves, if even then.


Why does Glenn Greenwald think it important to consider terrorist motivations? Do you agree? Why or why not?
    He’s saying that a in order to stop (possibly) terrorism, you need to understand why they are doing it. If you can get a glimpse of understanding into the motive then you might be able to figure out a way to stop them. I do agree because it makes sense what he says.


How would you answer Thomas' question, "Why?" Why do Hasan, Abdulmutallab, and others commit such acts?? If you need more reliable information, where might you find it?
    If I were to answer it I would have to respond truthfully. We have not learned more on the Why. It might be because of some revenge or maybe some deeper messed up mind set but until we figure it out, I can’t answer much more.  More information on my ikeepbookmarks account!
