What Others Have Said About The Raleigh Spy Conference
"In Washington, it's difficult for the public to comprehend important intelligence and terrorism issues since
everything is partisan and politically charged. Outside Washington, there are few voices for the public to
hear, and those heard are often wrong or media-driven. Few are able to explain to the public what really has
happened, and is happening, in intelligence, counterterrorism and national security - important issues, which,
throughout history, have spelled the survival or loss of this or other nations. The annual Raleigh Spy Conference
is a rare opportunity to hear it straight, with an unusual 'insider's' perspective and knowledge. Each year
this conference opens that door to share remarkable insights and stellar speakers with the public. If one
claims a scintilla of world-affairs knowledge, it cannot be true unless the annual Raleigh Spy Conference is
on your calendar."
– Gene Poteat, President, Association for Intelligence Officers, McLean, VA
"I thought the 4th Annual Spy Conference was outstanding…(Everyone) was at their best and certainly C-Span
thought so too. The Museum of History did a fine job through the three days as well. Many thanks to (Bernie)
and the Museum for hosting this special event in Raleigh."
– Charles M. Winston, Raleigh, NC
"The 4th annual Raleigh Spy Conference…was the second year in a row that I had the opportunity to attend this
event, and both times it has been excellent. One of the foremost events dealing with the history of intelligence
operations, it is not just interesting but relevant to both civilian and military jobs."
– David Durant, Greenville, NC
"You ran a great show…super well organized, very generous and gracious to your guests (and speakers!!)…and
right on the mark."
– Brian Latell, Speaker at 2006 conference
" I must tell you that both you and the folks at the Museum of History really know how to put on a well-run
conference… I have been to enough of them (conferences) to know when one is well organized and yours was one
of the best. It could not have been any better from start to finish. It was an honor to participate and I
am most grateful for your invitation."
– Don Bohning, Speaker at 2006 conference
