How do we ensure that both liberty and security are protected in this age of enhanced surveillance? Senator Wyden is widely recognized as a leading voice in the U.S. Congress for more open and transparent national security policies. His warnings about provisions of the USA Patriot Act and the surveillancepolicies of the National Security Agency have sparked new debates. He will discuss the tension between civil liberties and national security and how we can preserve liberty and security.
