Employing the hallmark Socratic dialogue format of the Fred Friendly Seminars, this series delves into the thorny ethical and practical challenges raised by terrorism. In each program, moderators lead panelists through hypothetical scenarios of terrorist attacks. In choosing how to respond to these attacks, the panelists confront the wide range of issues—legal, medical, and ethical—raised by terrorism.
