Dear Daniel, Michael, Patricia and All!
(I wrote part of this comment also in the movie’s site..)
You are All heroes in my eyes!
Such Wonderful spirits!
I saw the movie in our documentary channel (in Israel) just few days ago. I hope you can show my comment to your father.. Daniel you have touched my heart and soul forever! I didn’t even hear about you before! The most caring, good and influential people in the world are behind the scenes and the pages of the history I guess… You have given me such an inspiration and an example to follow on my own! I saw so much of me in you- it was so nice to see that I have this in me too and I can do great things myself! Just like that man who went to jail and not go to the army has influenced you.. so now I have a little more courage thanks to you.. I myself didn’t join the army as well.. and I Never regret it! think that we are ALL One big family- One body of Humanity! Many bodies- One Soul! Many Souls- One body of humanity!
It’s also amazing to me how you’ve grown from what happened to your mother and sister, and became the person you are today.. (I’m quite sure they helped you from above along the way..) I have also been through so much hardships in my life, but I always think that if I could share the wisdom I have learned and the knowledge I have found in those “obstacles”- then I could help others follow their own light too!
I’ll be happy to hear from all of you..
From your friend in Israel!
Maybe we’ll work together one day..
Who knows what the future will bring!
Lots of Love!

Dan, thanks for your courage. Somebody pulled the same thing on me they did to you. Let me just say that my name has floated around the Nevada political world and Washington. Somebody went after my VA medical records which are false from genesis to ending. Meanwhile, my VA casework that substantiated what the VA was doing was sabotaged by a congressional office.
Mr. Ellsberg: In the “Nation” colloquy on nuclear arms a month ago you suggested that internal critics of the latest nuclear posture review should be called before a congressional committee to air their differences and bring the choice to maintain the heart of the status quo into view.
I asked John Isaacs, executive director of the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, to suggest which committee would be the best target for a petition to achieve this. He replied that the Administration would not allow internal critics to testify.
I just saw “Pentagon papers” movie. I applaud your courage. It takes real man to admit he was wrong and follow his conciseness to show the world truth about war and government. I wish there were more Daniels today amongst us to bring to light all the BS they feed us these days.

Dear Mr. Ellsberg,
Which congressional committee do you think should call the internal critics of the Nuclear Posture Review before it, as you recently suggested? I would like to write committee members in support of this idea and perhaps try to get others to do the same.
Wow! We just saw “The Most Dangerous Man…” at the River Oaks Landmark Theatre in Houston. We were riveted to the screen — and have talked about the movie, your courage and your life all evening. Thank you for following your sense of moral rightness — thank you for risking your life for the truth.
I remember my father’s saying over and over, “We do not war our way to peace” during this era; I was so inspired by your story. What is so distressing to me is that we don’t seem to have learned the important lessons from this dark era — and that we the people seem so blind to the obvious wrongs….What on earth will it take for us to wake up to our own duplicity, deception and denial?
Thank you!
Thank you,Mr.Ellsberg & your wonderful Lady too.
Saw a report of your story yesterday on ARTE television & I nearly couldn`t sleep after this. Now the picture from the COURT HOUSE is on my PC scream to remember me,that people like you REALLY EXIST!! For give me hope everyday & happiness….
Stay well,god bless you!
