Daniel Ellsberg, who passed the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times in 1971 and so helped end the war against Vietnam, and who is now seen as something of a secular saint, said last week: “Bradley Manning no more deserves to face charges of treason than I did.” Now 80, Ellsberg has been arrested twice on protests against Manning’s imprisonment.
