Herodotus- http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/01/us/01gitmo.html?_r=1&ref=sept112001
Thucydides- http://nymag.com/news/features/19147/index8.html
I choose the one I choose for Herodotus because it basically just stated the facts. It just talked about the people charged with the involvement in the 9/11 terrorist attack. It only said what the writer heard, just like Herodotus did. He only listened to what he heard and wrote down the facts.
Thucydides thought things through more and gave his opinion much more than Herodotus. I choose the article about the possibility of 9/11 not happening because it was more of an opinion than a bunch of facts. It gave more of how the writer felt about it.
Herodotus collected stories, whereas Thucydides sought out precise and accurate accounts.
