This week, Congress will debate (and may vote on) the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012.

In an effort to bring scientific analysis to security policymaking, The Breakthrough Institute and partners from Third Way and Human Rights First - in cooperation with Representative Jan Schakowsky - will be offering a Capitol Hill panel briefing discussing which policies actually work to counter terrorism.

The event will be held in Cannon House Office Building room 122 from 1:00-2:30pm on Tuesday May 24th. Click here for details.

If you are in the D.C. area, please come by to hear Nick Adams present findings from "Counterterrorism Since 9/11: Evaluating the Efficacy of Controversial Tactics"

Other speakers will include veteran national security and counterterrorism policy advisor Suzanne Spaulding, Mieke Eoyang of Third Way and Dixon Osburn of Human Rights First.
