I watched this last night on tv, if only the full version was free and on youtube then we could help prevent this from happening again. I'm only 19 and never knew any of this, in school I was taught the war was to stop communists. Get this on youtube and spread the word, prevent more young men and women from enlisting into these wars based on lies.

The people we vote for aren't in control of anything. Wall St, Business and the military run the show.

But, nothing we can do about it. Voting doesn't do anything. Who cares anymore.

@boohowdy so sad brother ..... look this Daniel Ellsberg is a beautiful human being he done good. We, the world are so lucky to have him as a role model. So others will know and follow his example. I believe that it can.

Now he wants to appologize after the damage is done. WTF--these politics need their heads off. The true criminals in the world, in the White House.

[Joxman2k]

The truth needs no defense. It is what it is. If a person has done harm then it is their actions and motivations that need to be questioned, not the truth.

:P

Read John Perkins. As a former inside man, he lays out pretty clearly how presidents are just the smiling face of the Pentagon in bed with Wall St. and the multinational corporations (the corporatocracy as he calls it)
