..."Ellsberg served with the US Marine Corps in the 1950s before going to Vietnam as a civilian defense department analyst who studied tactics to counter insurgents. The Rand Corporation employed him when he leaked the Pentagon Papers.
More recently, he expressed support for the US soldier Chelsea Manning – who leaked Iraq and Afghanistan war records – and Edward Snowden, who blew the whistle on National Security Agency phone and internet surveillance.
Ellsberg told the Guardian in 2021 that he “never regretted” leaking the Pentagon Papers.
“Of course you’d be radically transparent about this, too,” the American author Jonathan Katz wrote in a reply to Ellsberg’s tweet Thursday. “Very sorry to hear the news but glad you are still with us and making the best of the time you have left.”
