Women's and Gender Studies Program The Women's and Gender Studies Program and the College of Arts and Letters will sponsor a presentation by former Air Force Interrogator Matthew Alexander on Monday, Feb. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the Fleming Education Center Auditorium.
Alexander (a pseudonym used for security reasons) spent eighteen years in the U.S. Air Force and Air Force Reserves. An "investigator turned interrogator," he deployed to Iraq in 2006, where he led the interrogations team that located Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the former leader of Al Qaida in Iraq, who was killed by Coalition Forces. Alexander was awarded the Bronze Star for his achievements. He is the author of Kill or Capture and How to Break a Terrorist: The U.S. Interrogators Who Used Brains, Not Brutality, to Take Down the Deadliest Man in Iraq.
