I'm so glad Daniel Ellesburg is still around & still a political voice. He's 90 years old! A great man.

It is a delicate balancing act to preserve national security while respecting freedom of the press. Both can be easily abused so the government must always be careful.

Yup a real "hero". Stole and distributed classified document during war time after being given a position of trust. His efforts did nothing to end the war.

IMHO the 1971 ruling was wrong. At some point even the government has a right to keep secrets in wartime, particulalrly if these secrets are stolen.

Just because I disagree with various administration tactics depending on the situations, doesn't mean I'm thankful for the mainstream legacy press or idolize them in any way. They have proven that they are part of the problem themselves, time and time again.

Some of the images of Nixon are misleading. The Oval Office and the private study off of the Oval Office aren't in the mansion in the centre of the complex. Yes, the image of the mansion is easily identifiable to many people, but gives them a distorted picture of where everything is. Secondly many of the recordings you use weren't made in the Oval Office but in Nixon's other office he maintained in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.

The times should have stayed the hell out of it! Our country was right in the middle of pulling troops out! Trying to save face as much as possible. Getting the North Vietnam to play right. Which they sucked at and devious as all hell. The can make things alot more difficult. Which plays in the enemies hands. Which is considered espionage!
