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 it uses adequate spacing and an easy-to-read font to make online reading less tiresome. Printer-friendly versions of most articles are available.
ORGANIZATION:
The site groups resources into several major topics. A left-side navigation menu appears on each page, and 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 with fighting terrorism. Topics include Operation Enduring Freedom, Responding to Terrorism, Homeland Security, Legislation, and more. Also included are news articles and links to outside resources.
