Daniel Ellsberg has died
Reading how the judge at his trial threw out the case because he was offered the role of fbi director by the Nixon administration to sway his mind makes me think how impossible it would be for a whistle blower to receive the same treatment today. Snowden would have been locked away for life if not found dead in his cell from "suicide". The protection for whistle blowers is a sham unless they're embarrassing the governments opposition now.
