Marking the 10-year anniversary of the Al Qaeda attacks on the United States, a panel of top counterterrorism experts convened at Washington College on September 8 for an important dialogue on the current state of national security. Washington College President Mitchell Reiss served as moderator.
CIA veteran Cofer Black, retired U.S. Navy Admiral Dennis Blair, National War College professor Audrey Cronin, and Harvard professor of international affairs Sarah Sewall participated as panelists. Each brought a unique perspective based on his or her experiences or research in the fields of warfare, intelligence, and international security issues.
The “9/11 Now” panel was conceived and organized by President Reiss, a leading expert on American foreign policy. He served as Director of Policy Planning at the United States Department of State under Colin Powell. As a Special Envoy for Northern Ireland, Ambassador Reiss played an important role in the Northern Ireland peace process. Reiss is the author of Negotiating with Evil: When to Talk to Terrorists (2010, Open Road).
