Daniel Ellsberg

@DanielEllsberg

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the day I started copying the Pentagon Papers. My older son

@RobertEllsberg

was 13 when he helped me for several nights in that action of whistleblowing civil disobedience. This helped shape his life of right livelihood, as described here:

Whistleblowing is about truth-telling, says @RobertEllsberg. And he should know, since he helped his father, @DanielEllsberg, one of our country's most significant whistleblowers so far. My story: ncronline.org/news/justice/r

You used a photocopying machine? Does it still exist? If so it belongs in a museum.

Thank you, Mr. Ellsberg, for your valiant service to our nation.

To me, sir, this remains the greatest act of courage and patriotism in American history. I am deep grateful to you and hope very much to shake your hand one day (as would the high school students I teach).

Mr Ellsberg, for 50 years you & I have been on this earth together, benefiting from the courage you had on that day, copying the papers. Today, as I have done many times, silently, over the years... I thank you. With warmth, gratitude, and appreciation, I thank you. Be well Sir.
