Ellsberg’s leaks also effectively defended the CIA, and his own work as an analyst. The key secret they revealed was that the executive branch disregarded or overruled intelligence findings in pursuit of a misguided Cold-War agenda. Thus, CIA correctly assessed the popular support for the Viet Cong, and their chances of surviving and indeed winning. I can understand Ellsberg’s support for limiting secrecy but I am disappointed he doesn’t take a more nuanced position about Snowden.
