Daniel Ellsberg on US duplicity in Afghanistan

 “Our President Is Deceiving the American Public”:
Pentagon Papers Whistleblower on President Obama and the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq

Democracy Now interview with Daniel Ellsberg

Obama perpetuates the myth of 9-11 being an Al Quaida plot as the excuse for America’s continued presence in Afghanistan, pretending the US (and allies) have no ulterior motive in pursuing the war.

We are joined by a man who played a major role in efforts to end the Vietnam War in the 1970s. In 1971, the then-RAND Corporation analyst Daniel Ellsberg leaked to the media what became known as the Pentagon Papers, a 7,000-page classified history outlining the true extent of US involvement in Vietnam. After avoiding a life sentence on espionage charges, Daniel Ellsberg has continued to speak out against US militarism until the present day. [includes rush transcript]

Increasing the numbers of troops and killing more Afghanis is only a stimulus for recruiting more resistance fighters.
