About this Event

It’s been 25 years since al-Qaida attacked the United States by hijacking airplanes and crashing them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. 9/11 represented a new kind of national security threat. A new national security architecture was created to confront it.

Sources & Methods host Mary Louise Kelly discusses how that day changed the country and its spy agencies, with people who worked on the frontlines of government and intelligence.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.

The morning will feature a panel discussion with:

  • John McLaughlin, former acting CIA director
  • Michael Morell, former CIA deputy director
  • Jane Harman, former U.S. representative (D-Calif.)
  • Stephen J. Hadley, former national security adviser
