He is participating on a panel for an event we are holding on Monday, November 26th. He thought you would be interested in hearing about it and we were hoping you would pass it along to the members of your listserv. I have included all the information about the event below as well as an attachment. If you want to know anything more about the event, don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks very much, Jennifer -- Privacy vs. Public Safety Before 9/11 claims were made that privacy was "dead." Were these claims justified? If the challengers were mainly private parties and the government was called to protect us--how does that fit into the Big Brother thesis? Does 9/11 justify any additional changes in out treatment of privacy? By what criteria are we to decide? Nadine Strossen, Orin Kerr, David Sobel, and Victoria Toensing participate in a dialogue that explores the tension between privacy and public safety. The dialogue will be moderated by Amitai Etzioni. When: Monday, November 26 at 3:00 PM Where: School of Media and Public Affairs, 805 21st Street, NW (corner of 21st & H), Room B02 This event is free and open to the public.
