Ray, Just a few quick thoughts off the top of my head on items which might make good visual presentations. The fake bin Laden confession photos comparing OBL to the fellow in the tape is one I like. Clips of Card telling Bush America is under attack is also an interesting item for anyone who hasn't seen it. I don't know if some of the photographic evidence which indicates the buildings were brought down by explosives is appropriate for anything at an introductory level or not. A lot of things that become obvious after quite a bit of study might be difficult to point out on a single viewing. It might be something to consider though, especially if you're planning to hand out copies for later review. One that crossed my mind on the air force stand down issues you mentioned is the war games that were being conducted to simulate hijacking scenarios on the day of the attacks. It's a piece of information that isn't usually mentioned in connection with the stand down, but IMO is one of the biggest red flags connected to 9/11. "If" there was a general notification of these games being played on the day of the show, it might go a long way toward explaining the slow response to the attacks, for example if those responsible for notifying NORAD were slow to react because they thought it was part of an exercise. That one was "We need a New Pearl Harbor" Rumsfeld's baby. The odds there just happened to be hijacking simulations taking place on the same day the sky was filled with real hijackers are so fantastic it's next to impossible to explain as coincidence. Anyhow, just a few quick first impressions. Considering the unholy amount of information available, I think any project along the lines of what you are describing will necessarily be incomplete. The trick is probably going to be figuring out what to omit while still tying the pieces included together. The Unanswered Questions site might be a good source of ideas also. Good luck.
