In The Event That You Needed More Proof the Government Is Lying to YouThu., March 9, 7 p.m., free, Free Library of Philadelphia, Central Branch, 19th and Vine sts., 215-686-5322.
To President Bush, Osama bin Laden will always be the fish that got away. The inability to capture the world's most wanted man is one of the many great foibles of his administration. Next Thursday, two of the top minds in the war on terror will put their heads together to answer tough questions when Michael Scheuer, former chief of the CIA's Bin Laden Unit, interviews Gary Bernsten, former CIA field commander and author of the new book Jawbreaker, about the war in Afghanistan. On the agenda: tracking the whereabouts of bin Laden and a frank discussion about how the war in Iraq isn't helping our fight against terror. One hour with Bernsten and Scheuer promises to be more informative then a lifetime of Rumsfeld press conferences.
