The Hunt for Saddam with CIA's John Nixon

The Hunt for Saddam with CIA's John Nixon High Value Target: The Hunt for Saddam - Screening & Conversation with John Nixon Program Details: Registration & Networking: 6:00pm Screening & Conversation: 6:30 pm About the Event: He sat across from Saddam Hussein in a bare room in Iraq and had to answer one question first: was this actually him? John Nixon was the CIA officer who confirmed it, and the first to interrogate Saddam Hussein after his December 2003 capture. What Hussein told him in those sessions didn't match the man Washington thought it had been fighting. Nixon's memoir, Debriefing the President , is now the inspiration for a TNT limited series, High Value Target: The Hunt for Saddam , starring Joel Kinnaman as Nixon and Waleed Zuaiter as Hussein. Join the World Affairs Council of Greater Houston for a screening of the premiere episode, followed by a conversation with Nixon himself, on the interrogation, what surprised him most, and what the show gets right.
