SUMMARY:Guardian or Big Brother?: The NSA Data Sweeps
DESCRIPTION:Ongoing disclosures about the extent of NSA communication monitoring have sparked numerous headlines—and almost as many questions. Should an American care\, for example\, that the NSA may log the time and duration of a phone call he or she makes to a cousin in Boise or Bangalore? As we seek to balance national security and civil liberties\, what should we fear most—continuation of the surveillance operations or their constriction? Is the data monitoring lawful? Should we have better oversight? \nTo watch the recording of the event\, please click here \nPANELISTS: \n\nSteven G.

SUMMARY:Political Islam\, the "Arab Spring\," and the Future of Egypt and Syria
DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of the “Arab Spring” Islamist political parties came to control several Middle East countries\, and important elements of the Syrian opposition.  It is\, nonetheless\, not clear whether or to what extent religious doctrine\, as opposed to secular considerations\, is responsible for their foreign policy choices.  This event will explore the factors that are motivating Islamist political parties in Egypt and Syria\, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood.  It will also explore how the Brotherhood in Egypt has fared since it took power\, and how its sister group in Syria sees a post-Assad future for the country.  It will also consider how the United States should respond to these developments\, and specifically to the ascendance of Islamist political parties in the last several years. \nThe video of this event is available\, click here to watch. \nAhmed al-Rahim (Ph.D.\, Yale University) is a visiting CLS Fellow and an assistant professor at the University of Virginia\, where he teaches Islamic studies in the Department of Religious Studies.  His work centers mainly on the medieval intellectual traditions of Islamic civilization (particularly the transmission of Arabo-Islamic philosophy\, medieval biography\, and virtue ethics).  Dr. al-Rahim is currently working on a monograph\, titled Political Islam: Medieval Theology\, Modern Ideology\, which examines the ways in which elements of medieval Islamic law\, theology\, and history are—often through historical memory—fused with the modern (post-Napoleonic invasion of Egypt in 1798) ideological programs of political Islam; among which are those of modern Salafism\, the Muslim Brotherhood\, political Shi’ism\, and most recently Jihadi-Salafism. \nSteven A.

Kennedy School of Government.  A political scientist and the Middle East specialist\, his research focuses on political development in countries that are poor and unfree.  He is particularly interested in the processes by which governments become more accountable to\, representative of\, and responsive to the needs of their people.

SUMMARY:Full Disclosure - Documentary Screening by Brian Palmer
DESCRIPTION:Full Disclosure is a feature-length documentary that offers a clear and nuanced view of the Iraq occupation from the vantage point of a reporter embedded with a U.S. Marine infantry unit\, 1st Battalion/2d Marine Regiment. Upon returning from Iraq\, Palmer followed up with members of the unit routinely\, and he continued to monitor the situation in towns he visited in Babil and Anbar provinces through media accounts\, U.S. government and NGO reports\, documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act\, and interviews with returning servicemembers. \nMany Iraq documentaries have been released over the past four years. Full Disclosure is different from all of them: It is both a reporter’s boots-on-the-ground account of America’s experiment in “nation building” as well as an examination of the embedding system’s effect on his ability to report evenhandedly\, critically\, and compassionately. \nAbout Brian \nBrian Palmer is a writer\, film maker and photographer\, based in New York. He has worked as a freelance field producer for the Tribeca Film Festival’s documentation unit and has written for Mother Jones\, Newsday\, Newsweek International\, Aperture\, The Village Voice\, The City Sun\, Emerge\, The New York Times Magazine\, US News & World Report\, Entertainment Weekly\, and others.
