[lbo-talk] Ellsberg, Gravel, and West

[Chuck Grimes]

``Today, we hear the story from three men at the center of the storm: former 
Pentagon and RAND Corporation analyst, famed whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg, 
who leaked the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times; former Alaskan senator 
and presidential candidate Mike Gravel, who tells the dramatic story of how 
he entered the Pentagon Papers into the congressional record and got them to 
the Beacon Press; finally, Robert West, the former president of the 
Unitarian Universalist Association.''

It's worth listening to because it profiles the way to handle state secrets 
and hopefully win without ending up silenced forever in some dungeon.
