How do journalists, particularly from primarily Muslim nations, view the situations in Afghanistan and Iraq, Al Queda terrorists, and issues of Abu Ghraib and the prisoners at Guantanamo? 

Our panelists include Yasemin Congar of Milliyet, Washington bureau chief of the Turkish newspaper Milliyet. She has a B.A. in economics from Ankara University and an M.A. from Georgetown University. Khaled Dawoud is correspondent for Egypt's daily newspaper Al-Ahram, the largest and oldest paper in the Arab world. He earned a B.A. in journalism and M.A. in television journalism from the American University in Cairo, and an M.A. in the politics of the Middle East from the University of London. Caroline Daniel is a White House correspondent with the Financial Times and currently leads press coverage of President Bush. In the past she served as the lead writer on U.S. airline industry issues. She has a degree in history from Cambridge University.

Our moderator, Timothy J. McNulty, the Chicago Tribune's associate managing editor/foreign news, has served as White House correspondent and foreign correspondent in the Middle East and China. He earned his B.A. at Wayne State University and M.A. at Georgetown.   

This program is sponsored by CCFR and College of DuPage, and co-sponsored by the International Strategy and Policy Institute, a nonprofit organization established in 1994 by American Muslims in the Chicago area. Its objective is to promote correct understanding about Islam in the United States, and to explain the moral and ethical position of Islam.
