Daniel Ellsberg is an American hero, a courageous man to reveal truth to power. A year before the PP were released, my father died, a nuclear veteran, victim of horror of the nuclear age. I will always be grateful for Mr. Ellsberg's voice for the common good of all humanity.

Congratulations! I was born in this time and between the "Cold war". It has been historical and journalistic brillant. Thanks to the whistleblower.
