British American Security Information Council
British American Security Information Council (BASIC) is an NGO. It is 'a progressive and independent analysis and advocacy organization which researches and provides a critical examination of global security issues, including nuclear policies, military strategies, armaments and disarmament. BASIC assists in the development of global security policies, policy-making and the assessment of policy priorities, and promotes public awareness and understanding of these policies and of policy-making in Europe and the US.' [1]
In July 2003, BASIC co-hosted a meeting to discuss what in hindsight should have been done differently in the role the media played in reporting the war in Iraq. [2]
