5 questions for Jonathon Randal

1) You've clearly had success in the field of journalism whether it be with the Washington Post or free lance, what is the most important piece of advice you would give to aspiring writers to potentially one day reach your level of success.

2) What was it about Osama Bin Laden that inspired you to write this book about him, was a personal connection with 9/11 or just simply something that interested you?

3) How did you go about gathering your information for the book and how subjectively did you try to report, without letting anger or sadness sway your opinion?

4) What in your mind is the hardest part about becoming a journalist or writer?

5) I see the book wasn't released until 2004, how long did it take you to gather all the information? Was it something that you started as soon as 9/11 occured?
