ABOUT ILANA FREEDMAN:

Ilana Freedman is an internationally respected expert in
counter-terrorism and intelligence analysis and forecasting. The
inter-relationships between developing trends in terrorism and their
impact on global security is a special focus of her concern.

With over twenty years experience in the field, Freedman is best known
for her unique and highly accurate approach to analyzing rapidly
changing trends and assessing their impact on homeland security. In
1987, she pioneered a system of research, analysis, and trend
forecasting designed to accommodate the impact of rapid and disruptive
change. The methodology enables the accurate processing of  massive
amounts of information and turns raw data into actionable intelligence.

Over the last fifteen years she has forecast some of the most
significant impacting trends in the global arena, including the
globalization of terrorism and its impact on the world economy.

Freedman spent sixteen years in Israel, where she received training in
counter-terrorism, and where Gerard Group was founded. As head of the
Jerusalem-based firm, she served as advisor to both government and
industry. During this period, she carried out an ongoing, in-depth study of Israel's
approach to counter-terrorism and its potential for
application in America.

She has been a featured speaker on the terrorist threat and
counter-terrorism preparedness at international conferences throughout
the United States and abroad. Freedman's columns on terrorism, civil
defense, and security have appeared in the New York Post and other
publications.  She has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, the
Financial Times, and Inc. Magazine and has been a frequent guest on
national radio talk shows.

She's a registered Libertarian from Massachusetts (!) who ran for Congress as a Republican a few years ago, and apparently worked in the local 'Homeland Security' section at the county sheriff's office.

Mole, or hypocrite?

Full score on all sections except;

5) Do you believe that firearms and/or firearm owners should be registered? Which ones and why?

Yes, for the same reason that cars are registered. I believe transparency is the greatest safegard to our civil liberties. Among other things, this would make licenses which are valid in one state, equally valid in all states and enable a licensed gun owner to carry when traveling between states, a definite improvement over the current system.

I received my firearms training in Israel from the police. In Israel, both gun-owners and guns are licensed and all gun-owners must visit the range four times a year and fire a certain minimum number of rounds each year. Responsible gun ownership is a given in Israel, in part, I believe, because of these requirements.

Not sure how I managed to post this on the wrong day on the calendar, but could a moderator move it to Monday, please? Or 'splain to me how to do it...    Thanks!

Good call, Lasse... I say she's both.

Can't imagine why 'libertarians' would entertain the thought of registering people 'across all states'.

Did anyone get the chance to attend to this?
