Scott Peterson of the Christian Science Monitor has been covering the war on terrorism since the September 11th attacks. He is also the paper's Moscow Bureau Chief, and their former Middle East Correspondent. Peterson recently attended a training camp for journalists to learn how to deal with kidnappers and gunmen. He was also a friend of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl. Peterson is the author of the book, Me Against My Brother: At War in Somalia, Sudan, and Rwanda. Robert Jay Lifton is Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology at the Graduate School University Center and Director of The Center on Violence and Human Survival at John Jay College of Criminal Justice at The City University of New York.
