Add an EventDaniel Ellsberg (Pentagon Papers) Slices Through US Lies On Iraq
Daniel Ellsberg is among the most important and heroic Americans of the last few decades, "arguably the greatest whistle-blower in American history" according to Salon.com. Placing principle and truth above his career, he leaked what became know as the "Pentagon Papers," documents that clearly showed that every single US President involved with the Vietnam war lied about US involvement.
Now, he's speaking out about the Bush administration's myths we hear about Iraq.
He was interviewed by Dennis Bernstein for Flashpoints radio on September 20, 2002. Few other authoritative commentators have been able to slice through the propaganda as clearly as Ellsberg. The program runs for 55 minutes and it's time well spent.
