Private Military Contractors and US Policy

Dr. Peter Singer, director of the 21^st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings
Institution and author of Corporate
Warriors, will join us for a discussion on the current state of
affairs and future policy options for the U.S.
regarding private military contractors.  To what degree are private military
contractors essential to U.S. operations abroad?  How can the
U.S. government increase their
oversight without detriment to other departments or agencies?  What effect are
private military contractors having on the war on terror?

Open to U.S. Government personnel only.
