The recent Boston marathon bombing prompts us to examine the friction between the war on terror and the rule of law, including due process rights, rights of free speech and assembly, and protections against invasions of privacy. Using video presentations and panel debate, this interactive program explores whether our responses to terrorist activity have strained the rule of law to the breaking point, and whether—as in the days of the Boston Massacre—there is still room for extremely unpopular defendants to get a fair trial.
