By Phillip Adams on Late Night Live

One of the most significant whistleblowers of our time, 91-year-old Daniel Ellsberg, whose leak of the Pentagon Papers exposed US government lies and helped end the Vietnam War, speaks out in defense of Julian Assange and free speech. He argues that the only way for Julian Assange to get out of Belmarsh Prison, even to live, is for the Australian government to advocate now on his behalf.

Guest:

Daniel Ellsberg, lecturer, scholar, writer and activist.

Author of four books including “The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner” and “Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers.”
