Consider This: US plans for Syria, cybersecurity, March on Washington

US officials ponder how to approach Syria

How can officials in the United States form an international coalition to take action against Syria if there is no domestic agreement to embark on military intervention? Hillary Mann Leverett, an American University professor and former White House official, will join the discussion, as well as Christopher Swift, a professor of national security at Georgetown University, and Michael Hirsh, the chief correspondent for the National Journal.

Cybersecurity and the threat of hacking

On Tuesday, a group called the Syrian Electronic Army allegedly attacked The New York Times website and Twitter.com. What are the future possible consequences of these sorts of Internet attacks? Could critical infrastructure be at risk of a cyber attack? Jaime Blasco, a researcher for AlienVault Labs, looks at the issue.

Fifty years after “I have a dream”

President Barack Obama addressed tens of thousands of people on the National Mall in Washington who gathered Wednesday to mark the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, the landmark civil rights demonstration that included Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech.

Consider This host Antonio Mora will speak with participants of the 1963 march, including Annie Groer, a Washington Post contributor, and Lynn French, who was a march organizer and now is a professor at the University of Virginia, as well as photographer Bob Adelman, who covered the march. Ms. Magazine editor Martha Burk will also join the conversation to discuss the role of women in the civil rights movement.
