| Event Date: | November 14, 2007 |
| Speakers: | David Cole, Noah Feldman, Jane Mayer |
The Open Society Institute hosted a panel discussion to launch Less Safe, Less Free: Why America Is Losing the War on Terror (New Press) by David Cole and Jules Lobel. A critique of the Bush administration's “war on terror,” the book demonstrates that the government’s post-9/11 policies have not only sacrificed some of our basic liberties but also made us less safe from terrorist threats.
Speakers
- David Cole, award-winning author and professor of law at Georgetown University.
- Noah Feldman, Harvard Law professor and expert on constitutional law and Iraq.
- Jane Mayer, staff writer for The New Yorker, moderated the discussion. Mayer has written on torture and other tactics used in the war on terror.
Ann Beeson, OSI's director of U.S. Programs, introduced the event.
