Gregory S. McNeal: Commentary at the intersection of law, policy, and culture.

Counterterrorism Under President Obama

— Posted under Blog, Law, Media, Policy, Terrorism on June 3, 2009

I was recently interviewed by Patty Satalia, a journalist with WPSU a PBS and NPR affiliate.  The interview was approximately one hour long (divided into segments) and questions ran the gamut from a discussion of the challenges the President will face in closing Guantanamo, to lessons from the CIA memos.  We also discussed similarities and differences between President Bush and President Obama, the role of the courts and Congress in these debates, and other related topics. 

The interview is available for viewing at http://conversations.psu.edu.  Readers who want to offer feedback can also comment on the “discussion board” immediately below the videos.  I look forward to hearing your comments.
