Daniel Ellsberg gives advice to people within the government who are against the war in Afghanistan and may have access to information that could help end it. As the patron saint of whistleblowers, Ellsberg is someone who knows more about this subject than anyone and deserves to be listened to. If you know anyone who works within the government or military, please send this clip to them.
In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg risked his freedom and his life by leaking a top secret report about the Vietnam war to members of Congress and various news outlets. This report, which became known as the Pentagon Papers, changed the course of history and led to the resignation of Richard Nixon and the end of the Vietnam War. Ellsberg is the subject of a new documentary by Judith Ehrlich and Rick Goldsmith called "The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers."
On September 24, 2009, I had the great honor of interviewing Ellsberg in Los Angeles.
(Around :52, Ellsberg mentions Vietnam when he actually means Afghanistan. An understandable mistake since it's awfully hard to tell them apart these days.)
