Intelligence Reform


DateFriday, September 28, 2007
LocationSenate Dirksen, 406

Dr. Amy Zegart, Associate Professor at the UCLA School of Public Affairs, will join us for a discussion on the work of intelligence agencies after the Cold War.  She argues in her book, “Spying Blind: The CIA, the FBI, and the Origins of 9/11,” that intelligence agencies are flawed by their very design, and have failed to adapt to the threat posed by terrorism.  What recommendations and reforms should be instituted by our intelligence agencies?  How might the FBI and CIA, in particular, train and equip their personnel to respond to the threat of terrorism?
