Dr. Durbin will give a talk titled after his book by the same name, The CIA and the Politics of U.S. Intelligence Reform. In his talk, Durbin will discuss why intelligence reform and oversight are so difficult, and how the peculiar politics of U.S. intelligence undermine America's national security and the civil liberties of its citizens.
