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…

This site was called Twitter for a reason. On HuffPost, I was debunking some bs & ended posts with, “TWEET”! This WAS a think tank / trade route before those morons tanked the conversation with the same crap from dial-up AOL’s busy signals. Two parties = price fixing, not choice

I'm about the same age as your son. Your whistleblowing probably helped end the Vietnam War sooner, and therefore kept me (and him) from being drafted and sent there during the collapse of the war. Thank you.
