[Peace-discuss] [Peace] Glenn Greenwald at U of I College of Law, *Room D*, noon Monday 4/22 - "Drones at our doorstep: Executive power and civil liberties post 9/11"

[Niloofar Shambayati]

Thanks for your input. I'm grateful that the students put the effort to
make this event possible and agree with you that this Law School is so
conservative that they had to "balance off" Greenwald with someone whose
views hardly ever get a chance to be heard in the "left wing" mainstream
media.  Such a pity it doesn't appear that there is no other event for more
people to hear him.
