CFNS Conference - Jan. 17th

Citizens for National Security, no relation to this group other than our admiration and mutual goals, is hosting a conference in mid-Jan. in Boca.

Here's the announcement:

“ISLAMIST EXTREMISTS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES”

When: Sunday, January 17, 2010 • 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM

What It’s About: While the military component of the global Islamist insurgency is obvious and recognized by the West, the insidious political wing goes generally unnoticed. It is, however, well established and very active in the United States, and now joined by the recent emergence of homegrown jihadists with terrorist mind-sets.

The overall focus of this presentation is on the characteristics of this extremism, both as a protracted “political war” that has been waged without opposition in America since 1964, and as a militant insurgency. Registrants will get an in-depth, inside look at the mission, goals, organization, operation methods and implications of these movements within our borders; and, learn about the failure of our government to recognize - let alone take measures to address - this extraordinarily malicious assault on our multicultural society.

Lead Instructor: Dr. Peter Leitner, who has a career that includes 31 years in federal government, 21 of them in the Office of the Secretary of Defense as senior strategic trade advisor. He has provided intelligence and anti-terrorism training to thousands of state and local investigators, law enforcement personnel, the CIA, FBI, Marine Corps and other national agencies through the Higgins Counterterrorism Research Center that he founded. Dr. Leitner, who holds a Ph.D. from USC, and four Master degrees, has served on the faculties of University of Northern Virginia, Mount Vernon College, Southeastern University, and George Mason University in its National Center for Biodefense. He has been a Senior Fellow with George Washington University's Center for Advanced Defense Studies, an Advisor on Terrorism with New York University's Law School, a member of the Center for Security Policy's Military Advisory Committee, and is President of the Washington Center for Peace and Justice.
