Opinion: RIP Daniel Ellsberg, a true American hero
In this cloud-based, data-mining age, we’ve become used to leakers of vast troves of government information, missives from employees unsettled about policies with which they disagree, and can share with the world with a few presses of a button.
Ellsberg, who died here in California last Friday, aged 92, was no wild-eyed anti-war radical when he reached his decision to leak. And it was there that his views of the American military involvement in Vietnam began to change. He witnessed torture, unnecessary civilian deaths, villages burned down, an absolute failure of the expressed desire from Washington, D.C. to win “the hearts and minds” of many of the South Vietnamese. But, again, he was hardly radicalized.
