As the fifth anniversary of September 11th approaches, the United States must reevaluate the state of its national security. With all eyes on the Middle East, what progress has been made in the global war on terror? Is America safer now than it was five years ago? Is intelligence information being used more effectively? What lessons have we learned about identifying and prosecuting terrorists? Please join AEI as we address these and other questions.
