Joseph E. Troiani, Ph.D.

Commander, U.S. Navy (retired)

National Defense Intelligence College

TOPIC

There has been much debate about both the value of and moral / legal standing of US intelligence activities.  Unfortunately, much of the public debate has had a political agenda and is orchestrated on both sides specifically to garner attention and TV ratings.  Dr. Troiani's experience in both Military Intelligence and Counter Intelligence spans several decades, giving him an understanding and perspective necessary to safely navigate the real challenge of keeping ahead of those who would cheerfully annihilate Americans at any opportunity.  Behind the recent successful Navy SEAL operation that finally ended Osama Bin Laden's existence, a network of anonymous and very diligent men and women do detailed, often tedious work, gathering and maintaining information from a myriad of sources key to or safety.   Dr. Troiani will give us an overview and share some of the interesting unclassified details of the recent success.
