Exposing the True Cost of Living in a Security State

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 24, 2016

Karen Greenberg, director of the Center on National Security at Fordham University School of Law, examined how the War on Terror enabled a decade-long assault on Constitutional rights - from the Patriot Act and NSA surveillance, to targeted killings and drone strikes. In Rogue Justice: The Making of the Security State, she questions whether it will ever be possible to restore civil liberties to the way they were prior to 9/11.

Event:  The Center on National Security at Fordham Law School is hosting a discussion with Director Karen Greenberg on Wednesday, June 1 at 6 p.m. (Fordham Law School, 2nd FLOOR, 150 WEST 62nd STREET). To RSVP, click here.
