Abstract
This paper examines the annotated bibliography on famous case 9/11 that was obtained from the online sources. Despite the fact that there are various online sources, the article focused on the detailed information researched by Loftus in the year 2011. He suggested that there are many sources used to obtained crime evidenced and the major one encompasses fetching the info from either suspects or prisoners because their probability of giving reliable evidence is high. However, he added that all investigators should be cautious about the mechanisms they use to obtain information as some may provide false results. Also, discussions are made on the description on how and where the resource article will be used in the final paper. Finally, the paper examines Loftus (2011) research in relative to other articles on famous cases to indicate that all the other sources should also be looked at to ensure maximum understanding of forensic science.

FAMOUS CASE 9/11
Loftus, E. F. (2011). Intelligence gathering post-9/11. American Psychologist, 66(6), 532.
Loftus in the article explains that the information that is usually used for the intelligence reasons are obtained from interrogating many people. To him, those people who can provide the most convenient and reliable data are captured prisoners and the suspects. However, any individual who can give a more elegant detail regardless of how small it may look like, the intelligence officials considers it essential.

However, according to Loftus claims that what is even more crucial is to ensure that the individuals who are interviewed for information should be able to have a long memory whereby he/she can remember the evidence that they are supposed to give. Any form should not distort the memory when the individuals are exposed to external forces such as poor questioning which cause the person being interviewed may provide incorrect information that does not conform to the intended answers. However, the officers conducting the intelligence gathering should be cautious to avoid using the inappropriate methods of collecting the data because it will lead to false results that cause the investigators to give astray results (Loftus, 2011).
The article is essential to the topic of study because it helps the investigators know who the primary sources of information are. For instance, Loftus claims that suspects and prisoners are the most reliable people who can give good news. Also, more excellent details should be taken seriously. In the article, it is interesting to note that sometimes the investigators can provide outdated an unreliable result if improper mechanisms are not used to gather information. Therefore, they should always ensure that they use correct methods of obtaining information. In the final paper, I will use the resource in the background of the last article to explain how scholars like Loftus researched about famous case 9/11.
