Daniel Ellsberg on 9/11

Another courageous American lines up behind the demands of a thorough investigation into 9/11.

The Pentagon insider who revealed the cynical lies behind the Vietnam War disaster has concluded that the Bush Administration probably orchestrated or at least allowed the horrific attacks against America on Sept. 11, 2001.

Daniel Ellsberg bravely leaked the “Pentagon Papers” in 1971, which finally turned America against the bloody and amoral war. Now Ellsberg says Washington’s despots likely committed the ultimate treason right here at home.

“Very serious questions have been raised, about how much they knew beforehand and how much involvement there may have been,” Ellsberg said Tuesday on the GCN radio show. (Click here for mp3.)

“Is the administration capable — humanly and physiologically — of engineering such a provocation? Yes, I would say that. I worked for such an administration myself.”

That was the Lyndon Johnson administration, Ellsberg said, which committed “manufactured provocation” to escalate the Vietnam War.
