Op-ed pick: Snowden was right to flee

Daniel Ellsberg, Former US military analyst and the man behind a leak of US Pentagon documents to whistelbowing website Wikileaks, speaks on October 23, 2010 during a press conference at the Park Plaza hotel in central London. WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange said today that hundreds of thousands of classified US military documents leaked by the website showed the 'truth' on the Iraq war. "This disclosure is about the truth," Assange told a news conference in London after WikiLeaks released 400,000 documents which give a grim snapshot of the Iraq war, including showing the abuse of Iraqi civilians by Iraqi security forces.
