This conference agenda keeps evolving, but TWN readers get the first web-look at the agenda for the conference I am directing, Terrorism, Security and America's Purpose: Towards a More Comprehensive Strategy.
I think that there are probably speakers in this that will both please and tick off just about everyone.
To register for the meeting, go to this website and fill in the on-line forms.
As far as broadcasting the meeting, people around the U.S. and the world can watch over the conference website by high quality, high resolution, real-time web-casting. C-Span hopefully will cover the conference, but we won't learn more until next week. CNN has indicated that it plans to cover much of the conference and to interview a good number of our speakers in CNN's new "Situation Room" show.
This agenda will keep twisting and turning a bit, but here is the absolutely most current draft, updated just two minutes ago at 1:36 a.m. EST.
More soon.

K Street ?!?! OMFG! I HATE K STREET !!!!
Happy birthday steve.
I look forward to tuning in to the conference.
The agenda and speaker lineup is very impressive. But, I'm wondering what Grover Norquist is suppose to add to a discussion on "What is the Right Course on Interrogations, Detention & Rendition?" Tax breaks for wrongful detention? Extra chow for registered republican detainees?
Seriously, though, I understand he has accumulated a great deal of soft power in Washington due to sleazy manipulation of lobbying money. But, what in his background/experience led you to think he qualifies to be a member of the distinguished group that will be discussing this particular, and very serious, topic?
callahan..thanks for your question about Grover Norquist. He is actually at the forefront, with Bob Barr, of efforts by some conservatives to attack the Patriot Act and preserve American civil liberties. He is actively trying to establish a right-of-center ACLU type operation. That is why he is relevant to the discussion.
Thanks much for the question,
Steve
really tired of recurring posts flogging this conference. enough to get me to stop reading this usually interesting and non self-obsessed blog.
Good job getting some people on both sides.
Happy birthday Steve!
Sure wish Gary Hart had made your guest list.
Where's someone of integrity outside the beltway? Someone like Seymour Hersh?
