Counter-terrorism Expert Richard A. Clarke to Speak on UIUC Campus

On Tuesday, March 8, the YWCA of the University of Illinois and
Student American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) will host Richard A.
Clarke, author of "Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on
Terror." Mr. Clarke will speak on the University of Illinois campus at
8:00 p.m. in 141 Loomis Lab (1110 W. Green Street, at the corner of
Green and Goodwin in Urbana). Tickets are not required, but space is
limited.

Clarke is the nation's foremost terrorism expert with more than thirty
years of experience serving under the last three presidents. In his
book, Clarke describes gripping scenes of his experience as the
nation's crisis manager during 9/11, running the Situation Room – a
scene described for the first time – and Clarke's dismay at what
followed. Richard Clarke was also the first government official to
issue a public apology to the families of 9/11 victims. At the podium,
Clarke draws from his numerous years in the intelligence community to
provide a fascinating and unique look at the current administration
and a powerful history of America's decades-long confrontation with
terrorism.
