Presidents at War -- Roundtable (Video)

What constitutes a legitimate wartime target? How do we keep Americans safe while respecting their civil liberties? And how do we handle POWs in an age of irregular combat? Consider these questions in our own time, and Lincoln's, through our next roundtable discussion -- on Wednesday, June 18, from 10am-12pm Eastern Time. Broadcast from the New America Foundation in Washington, DC.
