“Since 9-11, Americans have closely watched the topics surrounding terrorists and the nation’s security,” said Teri Kollath, Manager of Academy and Volunteer Services. “Mr. Eastman will discuss the various detention programs and locations, and how they treat their detainees, while also reviewing how these programs play a role in helping to prevent any future attacks on our country.”
Eastwood will discuss the treatment of terrorists held by the CIA and the US military that have received so much media coverage. This frank and revealing course discusses enhanced interrogation, secret over-seas detention sites, Guantanamo, and Abu Ghraib. Eastwood began his career with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms before transferring to the Department of Defense. His career also included conducting and leading counterintelligence and criminal investigations, and he also served as a senior executive for the IRS.
