The Feb. 28 debate sponsored by CDI's Straus Military Reform Project and Electric Politics featured Ted Galen Carpenter from the Cato Institute, Helle Dale from the Heritage Foundation, retired Col.
Doug Macgregor of the Straus Project, Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy, and Frank Anderson who is a retired CIA area specialist. (More biographical data is available at
ElectricPolitics.com) Some of the talkers were extraordinarily articulate representatives of their point of view. Listeners who would prefer a short version of the two hour debate are encouraged to

Council on Foreign Relations. Frye stepped out of his role of moderator and made a statement that any American concerned about our current national security problems should listen to.
