The protestors in Tahrir Square or in Tunis did not wave banners hailing Osama bin Laden or Ayman al-Zawahiri—instead, they rejected their autocratic governments. Will these newfound voices also help in rejecting Muslim extremism and other violent ideologies? What will the next ten years bring? Will terrorism still be the overarching threat it has been since 9/11? It is clear that America must rethink its strategies for countering the threat of terrorism going forward.

To discuss these issues, The Wilson Center brings together top experts from Congress, the intelligence community, the media, and academia in an event moderated by the Washington Post's David Ignatius to examine how the threat is changing and how homeland security, military, and intelligence strategies should evolve to deal with it.

Panelists included moderator David Ignatius, a columnist with The Washington Post; Congressman Mike Rogers (R-MI), the chairman of the House Select Committee on Intelligence; General Stanley McChrystal, former Commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan; Michael Leiter, former director of the National Counterterrorism Center; and Bruce Hoffman, a professor at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and director of Center for Security Studies, Georgetown University
