... click on the link, read the entire article, and LISTEN to the entire 20 minute video. As a matter of fact, listen to it twice, because the video was taken backstage and Ellsberg is grabbing a bite to eat and sometimes his words are illegible. I too, love PO. Like a son. BUT, you must not close your mind on this subject. Ellsberg is not defending that American terrorist necessarily that was killed with the drone over there. Ellsberg voted for PO twice, just like I did. I am behind PO 100% too, like you. BUT I am 100% against the MIC and the continuing of this open-ended (never-ending) war. The MIC has bankrupted this country. And as great as these drones are, they still can't tell the difference between the guilty and the innocent. And what are you going to do when our drones start flying around your neighborhood killing innocents? Please read and listen to what Daniel Ellsberg says, OK? You cannot make an informed decision about such an important topic without knowing all the facts. Respectfully...

Edited: to correct name of Daniel Ellsberg.
