  1. Man, I could only imagine the fear, anxiety, etc. of being face with something like he was, knowing the possibilities of what could/will likely happen for stealing and sharing information like this. Especially now a days. Very brave people, and true heroes of our country. Imagine going through anything and everything these people have gone through… with hardly anything changing because of it. Terrible.

  2. Most of what the military and intelligence agencies do is classified by default, and people's careers depend on keeping the truth even from their families. How is this democracy?

  3. Wikileaks is a clearing house for data and information and Publisher Julian Assange is not a hacker nor a whistle blower but a patriot and must be exonerated of all charges. Julian Assange has sacrificed so much for the truth. I'm grateful for what he has shared with the world and confident that the truth will prevail and Assange will be allow the Freedom to continue his work in fresh air and Sunlight!! WikiLeaks and Truth-teller Julian Assange have never had to retract anything they have published and that is what true Journalism is all about!! Free Julian Assange immediately!! Jail for War Criminals Hillary Clinton, Obama, Tony Blair, George Bush & The Military Intelligence Complex.

    United in Solidarity for Julian Assange.

  4. It must be made clear that Ellsberg is an insider whistle blower who gave documents to various publishers. But Assange is a publisher*. We *do not *know who the whistle blowers are or were who sent data to Wikileaks. Big difference.

  5. NYT publishing wasn't civil disobedience, but freely and righteously exercising the First Amendment. Very relevant considering Assange extradition going before UK court tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. Ellsberg, you are a national treasure.
