Daniel Ellsberg: Pentagon Papers whistleblower dies aged 92
Daniel Ellsberg, who exposed Vietnam War lies, only recently warned of the risks of new conflicts. …
But espionage charges against Ellsberg were ultimately dismissed. “Daniel was a seeker of truth and a patriotic truth-teller, an anti-war activist, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, a dear friend to many, and an inspiration to countless more. He will be dearly missed by all of us,” Ellsberg’s family said in a statement obtained by NPR.
