Daniel Ellsberg's Stories of Courage and Foreboding
Original: Daniel Ellsberg’s Stories of Courage and Foreboding
Daniel Ellsberg, the former Pentagon analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers, is the subject of a retrospective reflecting on his courage in exposing government deception and his dark warnings about nuclear weapons and state secrecy. Commentators recall Ellsberg as a moral exemplar for whistleblowers, while noting his increasing foreboding in later years about nuclear war, executive power and the risks faced by those who tell uncomfortable truths.
Why now: A new retrospective piece on Ellsberg has renewed discussion of his legacy and warnings shortly after his death and continued debate over whistleblowing.
