Department Of Homeland Security: Two Voices

Canada Institute Dept: Speaking for the United States was Mary Ellen Callahan , chief privacy officer of the Department of Homeland Security. She was knowledgeable, articulate and persuasive, according to The Star. They faced off in a one issue, two voices dialogue put on by the Canada Institute last week. The topic: How to balance the difficult trade-off between privacy and security in the post-9/11 world and the debate was embarrassingly lopsided. Speaking for Canada was Wesley Wark , a history professor in the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto. He offered more theories and opinions than facts. As reported in the news.
