Daniel Ellsberg, perhaps the country’s most famous whistleblower, fears
that before the Bush administration leaves office, it will try to
attack Iran.
Indeed, Ellsberg’s argument gained merit as George W. Bush increased his rhetoric against Iran when he delivered his final State of the Union Address. Bush accused Iran of training militia extremists in Iraq and emphasized the United States will confront its enemies.
In
a wide-ranging interview with Truthout, Ellsberg uses insight from his
experience as a Pentagon analyst under the Lyndon B. Johnson and
Richard M. Nixon administrations to discuss Bush’s plans to begin a war
with Iran, the role of the press to give whistleblowers exposure and
how American democracy can be restored.
