CONTENT:
This site was developed by the Center for Defense Information (CDI) to educate the public about issues concerning terrorism.
AESTHETICS:
The site is mostly text but uses adequate spacing and font size to make online reading less tiresome. A printer-friendly version of most articles is available.
ORGANIZATION:
The site groups resources into ten major topics. A left-side navigation menu appears on each page and all pages have a link back to the home page. The top navigation bar takes users to other areas of the CDI site.
REVIEW:
CDI's terrorism project "will look at all aspects of fighting terrorism, from near-term issues of response and defense, to long-term questions about how the United States should shape its future international security strategy." Each of the major topics contains analytical articles and factual information that will help teachers and students explore and understand the issues involved in fighting terrorism. Such topics as Operation Enduring Freedom, Responding to Terrorism, Homeland Defense, and Legislation are covered. Also included are news articles and links to outside resources.
