If the link does not open please click on Resources on the left-hand navigation bar. Then, open the “Week 2 Reading” folder. Inside the folder you will find the document.


Once you have reviewed these items, respond to the following questions:

1. In 2006, 3 detainees at Gitmo committed suicide. Some speculate this is their way of supporting the global Jihad. Have we placed too much hype and emphasis on this notion of “Jihad?”

2. In Cursio’s article, she seems to believe that the majority of detainees at Gitmo are not in fact radical extremist determined to wage Jihad against western society but disaffected and confused men. What is your opinion?
