See this film: Frontline's Top Secret America [with panel discussion] at the Brattle

Just one day before the 10th anniversary of the biggest intelligence failure in US history is the Frontline screening of Top Secret America, a look at what the spy boys have done in the meantime to compensate for that lapse and make America safe from terrorism. Or is their War on Terror just an excuse to impose an oppressive, surveillance state? If the film doesn't answer that question, or raises others, stick around for the panel discussion that follows with producer Michael Kirk and journalist Dana Priest, who co-wrote the doc's tie-in book at the Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | Saturday, September 10 @ 2 pm | free | brattlefilm.org.
