The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers

1971--Daniel Ellsberg, a top-level Vietnam War strategist, concludes the war is based on a decade of lies. He leaks 7,000 pages of top-secret documents to the The New York Times, a daring act of conscience that leads directly to Watergate, President Nixon's resignation and the end of the Vietnam War.

"I think it is time in this country to quit making national heroes out of those who steal secrets and publish them in the newspaper"

Ever thought that maybe if you told the truth in the first place this wouldn't of happened ?

More lies! It seems like secrets, hidden agendas, and what goes unsaid makes for the most interesting stories. It shakes me to know that Ellsburg was called, “The Most Dangerous Man in America,” when all he really did was try to expose a truth. Nowadays, we are fortunate enough that people have the guts to delve deeper. In Programming the Nation? I was shocked to find out how much goes unseen. Jeff Warrick did a magnificent job exposing the maskings put up by the media, bitly .com/oQ0ZVk.

No, I'm not saying we're completely screwed. I want the change badly. However, if we elected individuals that don't represent the status quo, they would be represent the minority. It doesn't take a genius that if the US eliminated special privilaes to special interest and eliminated corporate welfare-the economy would contract. It would be during this time that Americans would need to realize it's the corrections needed. Afterwards, we could see free markets prosper.
