8 May 2008, Northbank Center Ballroom, University of Michigan-Flint campus, Flint, Michigan:
Peter Bergen, CNN terrorism expert, was the final speaker for the 2008 Frances Willson Thompson Critical Issues Forum. Bergen, who interviewed Osama Bin Laden in 1998, gave a compelling lecture to a sold out Critical Issues Forum. Speaking without notes, Bergen gave a fact-filled address that had the audience spellbound. He assessed the threat of Al Qaeda during the next five tears, warned of future threats from bio-terrorism, and provided evidence of the continuing threat of global terrorism.
Bergen is a journalist and author of Holy War, Inc.: Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden (Free Press, 2001) the The Osama bin Laden I Know: An Oral History of Al Qaeda’s Leader (Free Press, 2006). Bergen is also adjunct lecturer at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He has a website at www.peterbergen.com
I had the honor of interviewing Mr. Bergen for “Collegetown News,” a program that will be submitted to Comcast for display on the public access channel.
