Join us for an online discussion of the latest intelligence, national security, and terrorism issues in the news. Spy Museum Executive Director Chris Costa will lead the briefing. Costa, a former intelligence officer of 34 years with 25 of those in active duty in hot spots such as Panama, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq is also a past Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism on the National Security Council. He will be joined by John O. Brennan, who served as President Obama’s Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor from 2009 to 2012 and as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2013 to 2017.
Brennan previously had a 25-year CIA career, which included stints as President Clinton’s daily intelligence briefer, CIA station chief in the Middle East, Chief of Staff to CIA Director George Tenet, and the first Director of the National Counterterrorism Center when it was established in 2004. He is the author of Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemies at Home and Abroad. In this memoir, hailed as a “rich portrait of an unusual life” by The New York Times, he provides a behind-the-scenes look at the world of intelligence and national security and discusses the many challenges and controversies that he has weathered. Brennan is currently a senior national security and intelligence analyst for NBC News and MSNBC and serves as a visiting Distinguished Fellow at Fordham University Law School and at the University of Texas at Austin.
