NATO
summit protesters will get a chance to debate officials representing the
military alliance in the week leading up to the May 20-21 gathering of world
leaders in Chicago.
Protest organizer Andy Thayer said today he and anti-NATO blogger Rick Rozoff will debate the merits of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on May 17 with a NATO spokesman, James Appathurai, and Nicholas Burns, former U.S. ambassador to NATO.
The event was arranged by the National Strategy Forum, a Chicago-based think tank focusing on international security issues. The one-hour debate will be held at the Pritzker Military Library on Michigan Avenue, Thayer said. He said details of the event were finalized Wednesday.
Attendance will be limited to 100 people, Thayer said, adding "we wanted it to be open to the public."
