David Ensor: I’m David Ensor. I’m the Director of the Project for Media and National Security at the George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs. It’s an honor to be here and working with the MITRE corporation today on this important conversation. I remember being an undergrad at the University of California Berkeley and I did a lot of biking. I used to bike up in the hills, and I bypassed the Livermore facility up there every day and wondered what was going on behind those gates. I’m hoping to learn a little bit more about that along with the rest of you here today. Read more.
