Lawrence Wright:
Do you think that American's lack of preparation and failure to react in a timely fashion are signs that this country is headed toward chaos and dysfunction? Even now, the federal government wants to see state and local governments go bankrupt rather than providing the fiscal help that they sorely need. (I am attempting to keep this a partisan question but that is a fine line these days.)

Lawrence Wright:
Hi Mr. Lawrence, thanks for the Looming Tower, it's a great read. You note that Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist murdered in Turkey by the Saudis, was a confidant of UBL. Why do you think Khashoggi was murdered? What are you thoughts as to why this connection was never, to my knowledge, acknowledged in the US press coverage of that event. I think the press saw it as an opportunity to smear Trump, nothing more.

Lawrence Wright:
I felt that The Looming Tower managed to chronicle one of the most sensitive subjects in recent history without being marred by personal input at the expense of objectivity. My question is, how difficult was it to maintain that composure throughout and resist any emotionally-induced desire to give your own opinions on the attacks or the parties involved?
