Synopsis
A four-part series of panel discussions on terrorism. The program brings together journalists, legislators, and government officials to discuss hypothetical terrorist attacks to determine how government policy can prevent and combat international and domestic terrorism. The four episodes are, "Incident in the Mediterranean," "Incident in the Mediterranean, Continued," "Protecting a Free Society," and "Extradition and Civil War." These episodes deal with such topics as hijackings, international extradition agreements, domestic terrorism, human rights and liberties, and journalistic ethics.
