Spy Symposium
The Spy Symposium at American University examines global ethics versus national security in the case of the illegal spy operation by the National Security Agency against members of the UN Security Council. Featured panelists include British Secret Service whistle-blower Katharine Gun, who revealed the NSA criminal operation, Martin Bright, the London Observer journalist who exposed it, and Daniel Ellsberg, the former CIA analyst who during the Vietnam War leaked the now famous Pentagon Papers. What was in 2003 a front page story worldwide, except in the United States where it was blacked out by all major media, is a tale worth recalling.
