In response to America's war against terrorism the Washington, D.C. based Brookings Institution launched a large-scale project to "focus the experience and analytical abilities of its scholars on both the immediate and long term challenges posed by international terrorism." The project, titled America's Response to Terrorism, encompasses briefings, scholarly papers, books and an extensive Web site containing video, audio, government documents and transcripts of Brookings events.

washingtonpost.com, in association with The Brookings Institution, will be hosting a bi-weekly series of online discussions with noted scholars to examine the key policy questions related to the U.S. fight against terrorism.
