On Thursday, January 19, participants in the Washington Internship Program were invited to the Brookings Institution to hear remarks by a small group of experts on terrorism and foreign policy who traveled to Afghanistan to assess the political and security situation as well as the role of outside forces. The briefing was moderated by Philip Gordon, senior fellow and director of the Center on the United States and Europe, and it featured panelists Gerard Baker, U.S. editor at the Times of London; Peter Bergen; CNN terrorism analyst and author; Reuel Marc Gerecht, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute; Steve Simon, senior analyst at the RAND Corporation; and Walter Slocombe, former undersecretary of defense policy at the U.S. Department of Defense. A question-and-answer session followed this impressive panel discussion.
