The Pentagon Papers leaker, who died Friday at his Bay Area home, understood how secrecy threatens democracy.
Daniel Ellsberg, the whistleblower who leaked the Pentagon Papers, died last week.Few people have understood and described the insidious corrosiveness of government secrecy as clearly as Daniel Ellsberg.
When Dan unceremoniously walked into one of the first organizing meetings we held at EFF’s red-brick Mission District offices, I was both tongue-tied and star-struck, as were most of us in the room, but he didn’t seem to notice. Dan later spoke at a public EFF event in Berkeley discussing the National Security Agency’s spying, which EFF had been suing over since 2006. I listened intently as he explained how those given access to governmental secrets all too often become convinced that they are smarter and more capable than those who lack that information.
