Hi All,
I heard it, too. Kathleen Carley began the report with an explanation of
degree and betweenness centrality and our understanding of information
flows.  With that, she offered a suggestion as to how the terrorist
network, with knowledge of the nature of the members' connections, could be
infiltrated.  The other 3 interviewees (I'm pretty sure-- it was early for
me, too) represented criminal justice (a prof from crim. justice department
at Rutgers) and information flows specialists in banking.
