 Radio 94.1FM  info: kpfa.org/events   \n\nThis important discussion between 
 two major American whistleblowers will focus on the urgent need to end 
 unaccountable government power.\n\nDaniel Ellsberg is an American activist 
 and former United States military analyst formerly employed by the RAND 
 Corporation. He precipitated a national political controversy in 1971 when 
 he released the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret Pentagon study of the U.S. 
 government decision-making in relation to the Vietnam War, to The New York 
 Times and other newspapers. In 1973, Ellsberg was charged under the 
 Espionage Act along with other charges of theft and conspiracy, carrying a 
 total maximum sentence of 115 years.  He is also known for voicing support 
 for Wikileaks, Chelsea Manning, and Edward Snowden. Ellsberg was awarded 
 the 2018 Olof Palme Prize for his humanism and exceptional moral 
 courage.\n\nJeffery Sterling is a former CIA agent convicted under the 
 Espionage Act for talking to a New York Times reporter. He was released 
 from prison after serving more than two years of his 42-month sentence. 
 Sterling's case drew nationwide attention because the Obama-era Department 
 of Justice unsuccessfully tried to force the reporter, James Risen, to 
 divulge the identity of his sources for "State of War," his book that 
 revealed just how the CIA had botched a covert operation against Iran's 
 nuclear program. Risen reported that instead of undermining the Iranians, 
 the CIA had provided them with useful information on how to build a nuclear 
 bomb. As a whistleblower, Sterling subsequently met with Senate 
 investigators about the mismanaging of a classified program he worked on at 
 the agency. \n\nNorman Solomon is the author of a dozen books and he is 
 co-founder of RootsAction.org.\n\n$12 advance, $15 door.\n
