His talk will examine the situation he faced in the 1970s with the release of the Pentagon Papers, previously confidential papers circulated within the Pentagon showing the Vietnam War to be unwinnable, despite public statements to the contrary. Releasing the papers came at great risk to himself, but the need for the truth to be told was more important to him. At the Soup Luncheon, Daniel Ellsberg will discuss ways in which today's situation in Iraq parallel those of the Vietnam era.
