Arlington, VA - In the wake of controversy surrounding plans to transfer Guantanamo Bay detainees to US soil for trial, the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies will host an event on November 19 focusing on ethical, legal and practical issues related to terrorism cases.  Experts will examine confusion that arises from the "fog of war" in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East and elsewhere, and how this will continue to challenge the United States and international community in the coming months and years.

Panelists will include Prof. Anthony Arend of Georgetown University; Marion "Spike" Bowman, Esq., Former Senior Counsel, National Security Law, FBI; Ambassador Curtis Ward (Ret.), Esq., Former Jamaican ambassador to the UN; Richard Heideman, Esq., Senior Counsel, Heideman Nudelman & Kalik; Dr. Wayne Zaideman, Former FBI Legal Attache, Middle East; Prakhar Sharma, Visiting Fellow, Henry Stimson Center; and Prof. William Olson, National Defense University.
