* Upcoming Event: Debating the al-Aulaqi suit and the question of targeted killing in the context of an American citizen: Michael Lewis (Ohio Northern) & Arthur Spitzer (ACLU)
This will be great – don’t miss it if you are able to go:
Tuesday Sep. 21, from 12:00 to 1:00 at Georgetown Law
Guests that do not have Georgetown ID’s should go to the Second Street entrance to McDonough Hall which is between E Street and Massachusetts Avenue. That side of the Law Center is most easily accessed from the Judiciary Square Metro stop.
I’ll pass along the audio if they end up recording it.
