The mantra of the American government since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 has been to protect our country from further radical assaults at all costs. In 2002, President Bush established a cabinet post on Homeland Security devoted to the sole task of defending the nation‘s borders. Almost two years later, we are now just beginning to measure the true effectiveness of this department. This panel will evaluate the usefulness of the administration‘s efforts so far to safeguard American society against outside threats and to ask questions about the direction in which these Bush policies are taking the USA.

Thursday, October 23, 2003, 6:00-7:30 p.m. Swayduck Auditorium, First Floor, 65 Fifth Avenue (between East 13-14^th). Admission is free. Visit www.dialnsa.edu for a live webcast and online discussion.
