If you happen to be, or can be, in lower Manhattan on Thursday, April 12, NYU's Center on Law and Security will be holding what looks to be a very interesting program on "Secrecy & Government." On the menu are a number of prominent journalists (e.g., Dana Priest, Adam Liptak, Walter Pincus, Nat Hentoff, et al), some academics from both ideological sides who really know this area (e.g., Elaine Cassel, Jack Goldsmith, Burt Neuborne, et al), and some practitioners who've dealt with these cases (like Josh Dratel, who's represented terrorists, and federal judge Ken Karas, my friend and colleague when we were prosecutors).
The day-long event has been organized by NYU's excellent Prof. Karen Greenberg, who runs the Center and, in my experience, is very conscientious about making sure all views are represented. Details can be found here.
