RIP Daniel Ellsberg

[Michael_ Gee]

Man who gave the world the Pentagon Papers. Still leader in the clubhouse in the whistleblower event.

 

[Liut]

Read he was 92. Pancreatic cancer.

 

[DanOregon]

One of the best things about being a GA reporter, he was in town doing a college thing with Norman Solomon and I interviewed him. He was figuring there were people out there in the government who knew the Iraq War buildup was bogus and was hoping they'd come forward. Interesting guy.

 

[wicked]

A real hero. RIP.

 

[garrow]

Giant of the era. RIP.

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

Stunning in light of the modern day that he didn't end up UNDER Gitmo, only to be pardoned by the same Carter that pardoned Liddy.
