    The economics and business department welcomes veteran globe-trotting correspondent Willy Stern to talk about his experiences as the only journalist to have actually been inside Afghanistan's “secret” prisons. Stern found many surprises in these facilities, including conjugal huts, a first-rate toy box in a women's prison, brand-new 40-inch flat screen TVs and a fleet of golf carts. Stern was even invited back for tea in the jail cells by the Taliban. He will share an inside look at the U.S. military’s new strategy on detentions and interrogations in this ragged, war-torn country. The new mantra is “Transparency and accountability.” But will it work?
