On the other hand, Niloofar, this was a grand "coup" due to the initiative of a small group of ACLU students at the law school. I suspect they were only able to pull it off there if they had an opposing view presented. That Greenwald agreed to come is wonderful.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My guess is that the students just didn't realize that they possibly could have made this into a university wide event. Perhaps there were logistical constraints. That Greenwald is appearing means that he could have presented an additional talk to the
university/community. I have to wonder if Greenwald is coming only for this event?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes, it is a wonderful opportunity to have him, but also a missed opportunity for a larger audience.</div>
