them he must also prosecute the New York Times, The Guardian and every single person that has read or printed those documents.


"Pentagon Whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg: Julian Assange is Not a Terrorist"

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will remain in a London prison until a British court takes up a Swedish request for extradition for questioning on sexual crime allegations. An international group of former intelligence officers and ex-government officials have released a statement in support of Assange. We speak to one of the signatories, Daniel Ellsberg, the famous whistle-blower who leaked the Pentagon Papers about the Vietnam War in 1971. "If I released the Pentagon Papers today, the same rhetoric and calls would be made about me," Ellsberg says. "I would be called not only a trader—which I was then, which was false and slanderous—but I would be called a terrorist. … Bradley Manning and Julian Assange are no more of a terrorist than I am."

1. It's "traitor", not "trader".
I wish Democracy Now would know the difference.

2. Some people just can't spell.
That's what spell check is for. Some people are in denial about their infallible spelling abilities, or inabilities.

Otherwise, good article. I remember I needed something from Trader Joes.
