Daniel Ellsberg: Bradley Manning is a hero

“In the Arena” senior producer Jay Kernis interviews Daniel Ellsberg, author, defense analyst and prominent whistleblower.

Ellsberg says, “It was then almost impossible to communicate with Bradley Manning, and I have so far done so only through his few visitors. In front of the White House and at Quantico, I was attempting to communicate with those holding him prisoner, to protest the abusive and illegal conditions of his detention, amounting not only to punishment of someone not tried, convicted or sentenced but to torture forbidden by domestic and international law and the Constitution even as punishment.”
