Pentagon Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg: Julian Assange is Not a Terrorist
Posted Jan 1, 2011
After WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in London an international group of former
intelligence officers and ex-government officials released a statement in support of his work. We
speak to one of the signatories, Daniel Ellsberg, the famous whistleblower who leaked the Pentagon
Papers about the Vietnam War in 1971. "If I released the Pentagon Papers today, the same rhetoric
and the same calls would be made about me," Ellsberg says. "I would be called not only a traitor—
which I was then, which was false and slanderous—but I would be called a terrorist... Assange and
Bradley Manning are no more terrorists than I am." [includes rush transcript]
