The two men and one woman are listed as AWOL; they have threatened that if they are not released, another operative will blow up more undisclosed buildings. The police have contacted the FBI and will detain the suspects. Meanwhile, two more buildings explode near a military outpost in which civilians and military personnel were killed. Evaluate your resource and recommend appropriate courses of action relative to homeland security. What will be your first step? Why? Be specific and cite your sources. As Incident Commander, would you oversee posting U.S. Army personnel in strategic locations in your town during a terrorist attack? Please cite specific policy in your response.

The first writing assignment is the 2004 National Geographic article "Was Darwin Wrong?" by David Quammen. Please read the article and write a 3-4 page paper (double-spaced, 10-12 pt font, 1000-1500 words) for submission. Each paper should consist primarily of a review of the article (tell me what the article was about), with a short discussion at the end (1/2 page or 2-3 paragraphs)Do not cut-n-paste from the text or other sources, and do not include quotations from the article. For the discussion section, pick out and discuss some aspect of the article that you found to be the most interesting, surprising, and/or problematic. Please discuss why this topic was noteworthy to you. Feel free to express your personal opinions, including agreement or disagreement with Quammen's arguments (and your reasoning behind these stances).
