Thompsons research in this field has gone on to inspire the movie "9/11 Press For Truth"[3] and interviews across various media outlets such as Fox News and Air America[4][5] and recognition by some as "an authority on terrorism."[6] In 2005, Thompson was asked to speak at a congressional briefing on the 9/11 Commission’s final report, he addressed what he defined as failures by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).[1][7]

The Terror Timeline was compiled in conjunction with the Center for Cooperative Research.[2] The timeline chronicles events leading up to the terrorist attacks and America's response. The project began in mid-2002 as a website entitled The Complete 9/11 Timeline. The book has been used by Richard Clarke, former chief counter-terrorism adviser to the president, to teach his course on "Terrorism, Security, and Intelligence" at Harvard University.[9] His work has also gone on to be cited as a key piece of research in a Complaint and Petition, which seeks a criminal inquiry and/or grand jury investigation into "the many still unsolved crimes of September 11, 2001", that was filed with and accepted by the New York Attorney General's Office.[10]
The work has been highly praised by the "Jersey Girls". Kristen Breitweiser said, "If you want to know everything about 9/11, you must read this book ... Our intelligence agencies should be recruiting people like Paul Thompson, because he's brilliant".[4]
