The Pentagon Papers

.



I wonder if Ellsberg got a Epiphany (a lá Benjamin Freedman but in a lower part of the Judaica Empiral Apparatus Machine)  waked up by then to "real reality" and discovered his own possibilities of action ? if so, great, or was it another twist to this issue i e been done -the release of the Pentagon papers- just in order to follow a Bigger Agenda, the Master Plan, New Judaica Order ? -->CAUTION BECAUSE HE WAS ON THE INSIDE FOR SO MANY YEARS ¤- His opinion of saddam hussein and al qaida are ludicrous (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF8nuvGyngU)  . . . but stil don't know, You tell me what to make of the whole Daniel "Pentagon Papers" Ellsberg's history . . . because here is the BLUEPRINT of the whole media/politics/militar complex in the making of lies & deceive -by then and today- over the population of the empire. So, was he a deceiver or a heroe ? Or what ?  You tell me . . .

Ellsberg was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1931 to Jewish parents and grew up in Detroit, Michigan and attended Cranbrook School. His mother had wished him to be a concert pianist but he stopped playing in July 1946 when she was killed, together with his sister, after his father fell asleep at the wheel of the car the family was travelling in and crashed into a culvert wall.

He attended Harvard University on a scholarship, graduating with B.S. in economics in 1952 (summa cum laude). He then studied at Cambridge University on a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. A year later he returned to Harvard for graduate school. In 1954, he left Harvard for the U.S. Marine Corps.[2]. He graduated first in a class of almost 1,100 lieutenants at the Marine Corps Basic School in Quantico, Virginia.[citation needed] He served two years as a platoon leader, and was discharged from the Corps as a first lieutenant in 1957.[2] He resumed graduate studies at Harvard, but after two years he interrupted his academic studies again, to work at RAND, where he concentrated on nuclear strategy.[2] He earned a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard in 1962.[2] His dissertation introduced a paradox in decision theory now known as the Ellsberg paradox.


Ellsberg served in the Pentagon from August 1964[3] under Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (and, in fact, was on duty on the evening of the Gulf of Tonkin incident, reporting the incident to McNamara). He then served for two years in Vietnam working for General Edward Lansdale as a civilian in the State Department.





After his tour of duty in Vietnam, Ellsberg resumed working at RAND. In 1967, he contributed to a top-secret study of classified documents regarding the conduct of the Vietnam War that had been commissioned by Defense Secretary McNamara.[4]




These documents, completed in 1968, later became known collectively as the Pentagon Papers. Because he held an extremely high-level security clearance, Ellsberg was one of very few individuals who had access to the complete set of documents.






On June 29, 1971, U.S. Senator Mike Gravel of Alaska entered 4,100 pages of the Papers into the record of his Subcommittee on Public Buildings and Grounds, which he had received from Ellsberg via Ben Bagdikian— then an editor at the Washington Post. These portions of the Papers were subsequently published by Beacon Press.
