Mason’s Michael Hayden discusses book, career as head of CIA, NSA

Michael V. Hayden, former head of both the CIA and the National Security Agency, will discuss his career in U.S. intelligence during a panel presentation at 6 p.m. Monday, May 2, at George Mason University’s Founders Hall Auditorium in Arlington.

Hayden, a Distinguished Visiting Professor at Mason’s School of Policy, Government and International Affairs, will be joined on stage by Mason professor Jeremy Mayer and Georgetown Law professor Laura Donohue in a conversation about the often-controversial contents of Hayden’s new book, “Playing to the Edge: American Intelligence in the Age of Terror.” The discussion will be moderated by SPGIA dean Mark Rozell.

A question-and-answer session with the audience will follow the discussion.

The event is sponsored by the school, its alumni chapter and Mason’s Center for Security Policy Studies.
