Daniel Ellsberg is among the most important and heroic Americans of the\r\nlast few decades\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>
Daniel Ellsberg is among the most important and heroic Americans of the last\r\nfew decades, \"arguably the greatest whistle-blower in American\r\nhistory\" according to Salon.com. Placing principle and truth above\r\nhis career, he leaked what became know as the \"Pentagon Papers,\"\r\ndocuments that clearly showed that every single US President involved with the\r\nVietnam war lied about US involvement.<\/p>\r\n
Now, he's speaking out about the Bush administration's myths we hear about\r\nIraq.<\/p>\r\n
He was interviewed by Dennis Bernstein for Flashpoints<\/i> radio on\r\nSeptember 20, 2002. Few other authoritative commentators have been able to\r\nslice through the propaganda as clearly as Ellsberg. The program runs for\r\n55 minutes and it's time well spent.<\/u><\/p>\r\n
