2.  The September 11th Source Books: National Security Archive Online
Readers on Terrorism, Intelligence and the Next War [.pdf]
http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB55/index1.html

On September 21, the National Security Archive (NSA) posted the first volume
in their new series The September 11th Source Books. The series aims to
fulfill NSA's mission "to put on the record the primary source documentation
that can enrich the policy debate, improve journalism, educate policymakers,
and ensure that we don't reinvent the wheel or repeat the mistakes of the
past." As such, this first volume, Terrorism and U.S. Policy, covers a wide
range of primary documents grouped in five main subjects: Terrorism and
Usama bin Ladin; Congressional Research Service reports; General Accounting
Office reports; Department of Defense Directives, Instructions and
statements; and Presidential Directives and Executive Orders. NSA plans
future volumes covering Soviet and US documents related to the last war in
Afghanistan and specific policy topics such as the US ban on assassinations.

8.  Public Agenda Special Report: Terrorism
http://www.publicagenda.org/specials/terrorism/terror.htm

Public Agenda Online (PAO, first discussed in the February 26, 1999 _Scout
Report_) has recently released a special report focused on terrorism,
covering both public opinion and policy issues. The report's brief Overview
explains some of the ways in which the United States is entering new
territory in its efforts to deal with the recent terrorist attacks and
summarizes some of the policy proposals. The Public Opinion section of the
special reviews many of the public opinion polls on issues related to the
attacks and the aftermath. The extensive links in this section, to on-site
graphs and off-site studies, make this a rich resource for anyone interest
in public opinion polls in general or public opinion related to 9-11 events
in particular. The Fact File offers quick graphical information such as
Total international terrorist attacks by region, 2000 and Countries that
support terrorism (according to the US State Department). A list of
annotated resources and links to related PAO issue guides round out the
site. [TK]
