Since 9/11, the United States has secretly engaged in armed conflict in the name of combating terrorism. But lesser-known laws have also enabled hostilities for the sake of “security cooperation,” authorizing the Pentagon to create and use paramilitaries without notifying key decision-makers in Congress and permitting presidents to counter not just terrorist groups but also states, such as China, Iran, and Russia.
Through these laws, a handful of government officials, working with minimal oversight and no notice to the public, could stumble the United States into a major conflict. Expert panelists will take on the question of how Congress should address this danger.
Speakers: Katherine Yon Ebright, Counsel, Brennan Center Liberty & National Security Program // Oona Hathaway, Professor of Law, Yale Law School // Wesley Morgan, Journalist, Author, The Hardest Place: The American Military Adrift in Afghanistan's Pech Valley // Moderator: Elias Yousif, Research Analyst, Conventional Defense, Stimson Center
