DESCRIPTION:Event: In Blind Spot, Timothy Naftali gives an historical perspective on 
 American counterterrorism efforts since World War II - including missed 
 opportunities that led to 9/11. Based on newly researched documents, 
 recently uncovered archival information, and interviews with the key 
 participants, Naftali describes earlier successes in counterterrorism and 
 explains why they did not translate into success against Osama bin Laden 
 later in the 1990s.  Until 9/11, the domestic threat of terrorism was the 
 largest blind spot in United States national security. Naftali concludes 
 that open, liberal democracies like the US are incapable of effectively 
 stopping terrorism.  When: Monday, May 23rd; check-in: 5:30 PM, program:
