U.S. Rep. Hinchey to host forum to discuss implications of Downing Street memos

Congressman Maurice Hinchey '68, '70g (D-NY) will hold a community forum to discuss the implications of the Downing Street memos and other information recently uncovered that further calls into question the Bush Administration's case for war in Iraq from 7 - 9 p.m. this Thursday at the Coykendall Science Building Auditorium.

Professor Robert Miraldi (Journalism) will join Hinchey to discuss the news media's coverage of the Downing Street memos and the Iraq war overall. Hinchey has called for the timely and responsible removal of U.S. troops from Iraq and has said the United States should commit more resources to fighting al Qaeda, which represents the primary threat to U.S. national security. The event is open to the public and refreshments will be provided.
