Your feedback is important to us

Please tell us the issues you want to know more about and who, ideally, you would like to explain those issues. [E.g. I would like Dr. Robert Mundell, Nobel Laureate, Economics (1999) to explain the recent economic downturn in the United States.]

Annie Jacobsen is a widely published investigative journalist and book author. In June 2004, she was unwittingly involved in an airplane incident which many federal agents believe was a dry run for a terrorist attack. Since then, Ms. Jacobsen has been leading the discussion on aviation and homeland security reform through conventional media - print, radio and television. She continues her work on her Arena Channel.
