Daniel Ellsberg, the iconic whistleblower and national hero described by President Nixon as „the most dangerous man in America,“ and co-founder of Freedom of Press Foundation.
Norman Solomon, Journalist, media critic, anti-war activist, co-founder of RootsAction.org, founding director of Institute for Public Accuracy, and author of War Made Easy.
