ReThink Interview: Daniel Ellsberg — "Vietnamistan"

Daniel Ellsberg describes why he refers to our current war in Afghanistan as "Vietnamistan".

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.
