Daniel Ellsberg is among the most important and heroic Americans of the last
few decades, "arguably the greatest whistle-blower in American
history" according to Salon.com.  Placing principle and truth above
his career, he leaked what became know as the "Pentagon Papers,"
documents that clearly showed that every single US President involved with the
Vietnam war lied about US involvement.

Now, he's speaking out about the Bush administration's myths we hear about
Iraq.

He was interviewed by Dennis Bernstein for Flashpoints radio on
September 20, 2002.  Few other authoritative commentators have been able to
slice through the propaganda as clearly as Ellsberg.  The program runs for
55 minutes and it's time well spent.

interview that can change people).
