            <itunes:summary>David Cole is a professor at Georgetown University Law Center, a volunteer staff attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights, legal affairs correspondent for The Nation, a regular contributor to the New York Review of Books, and a commentator on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered. He is the author of six books. Less Safe, Less Free: Why America Is Losing the War on Terror, published in 2007, won the Palmer Civil Liberties Prize for best book on national security and civil liberties. Enemy Aliens: Double Standards and Constitutional Freedoms in the War on Terrorism, received the American Book Award in 2004. No Equal Justice: Race and Class in the American Criminal Justice System was named Best Non-Fiction Book of 1999 by the Boston Book Review and best b ook on an issue of national policy in 1999 by the American Political Science Association. His most recent book is The Torture Memos: Rationalizing the Unthinkable, published by The New Press in September 2009.

 

He has litigated many significant constitutional cases, including Texas v. Johnson and United States v. Eichman, which extended First Amendment protection to flagburning; National Endowment for the Arts v. Finley, which challenged political content restriction on NEA funding; and Massachusetts v. Sullivan, which challenged restrictions on what federally funded family planning centers could tell women about abortion. Since 9/11, he has been involved in many of the nation’s most important cases involving civil liberties and national security, including the case of Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen rendered to Syria and tortured there.

 

New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis has called David “one of the country’s great legal voices for civil liberties today,” and Nat Hentoff has called him “a one-man Committee of Correspondence in the tradition of patriot Sam Adams.” David has received numerous awards for his human rights work, including honors from the Society of American Law Teachers, the National Lawyers Guild, the ACLU of Southern California, the ABA Section on Individual Rights and Responsibilities, and the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee</itunes:summary>

Lawrence Wright is a Fellow at the Center on Law and Security, an author, playwright, and screenwriter, and a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine.  His book on Al Qaeda, The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 (Knopf, 2006), won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction and was named one of the top ten books of 2006, according to both The New York Times and The Washington Post, and was nominated for the 2006 National Book Award. A portion of that book, &quot;The Man Behind Bin Laden,&quot; was published in The New Yorker and won the 2002 Overseas Press Club’s Ed Cunningham Award for best magazine reporting. He has also won the National Magazine Award for Reporting as well as the John Bartlow Martin Award for Public Interest Magazine Journalism.  Currently he is working on a script for MGM about John O&apos;Neill, the former head of the FBI&apos;s office of counterterrorism in New York, who died on 9/11. In 2006, he premiered his one-man play, &quot;My Trip to al-Qaeda,&quot; at The New Yorker Festival, and then enjoyed a sold-out six-week run at the Culture Project in Soho.

 

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, DC. An outspoken defender of women’s rights in Islamic societies, Ms. Hirsi Ali was born in Mogadishu, Somalia. She escaped an arranged marriage by immigrating to the Netherlands in 1992, and served as a member of the Dutch parliament from 2003 to 2006. In 2007, she published her book, Infidel. Infidel details the formation of Hirsi Ali&apos;s insights on Islamic reform, and introduces a path to realizing a fundamental shift of values in modern Muslim society. Tracing not just her personal history but also the history of the militant Islamic movement throughout Africa and the Middle East, Infidel charts the influences and beliefs that have defined the past thirty years. In parliament, she worked on furthering the integration of non-Western immigrants into Dutch society, and on defending the rights of women in Dutch muslim society. In 2004, together with director Theo van Gogh, she made Submission, a film about the oppression of women in conservative Islamic cultures. The airing of the film on Dutch television resulted in the assassination of van Gogh by an Islamic extremist.  At AEI, Ms. Hirsi Ali will be researching the relationship between the West and Islam; women’s rights in Islam; violence against women propagated by religious and cultural arguments; and Islam in Europe.

 

Ebtihal Mubarak is a 2008 Fellow of the Dag Hammarskjöld Scholarship Fund for Journalists at the United Nations. She is a reporter for the English-language Arab News in Saudi Arabia and reports on the small but growing movement for greater political and social rights for Saudi women and the challenges they face. Among the only 5 percent of Saudi women who work outside the home, Ms. Mubarak was instrumental in publicizing the case of Fatimah Al Taimani, forcibly divorced from her husband and then chose imprisonment to escape her half brothers who accused her husband of lying about his tribal affiliations. More recently Ms. Mubarak covered a Saudi rape victim, known as the &quot;Qatif Girl.&quot; Her reporting was picked up by the international press. At the United Nations, she intends to seek interviews with as many world figures as possible and &quot;to represent working Saudi women in action.</itunes:summary>
