The Importance of Respect

I was able to meet Daniel Ellsberg in 2008 for the first time in Washington. I remember being very nervous when I met him, kind of almost like a teenager meeting their pop idol. He not only was embarrassed by it, he didn't use this kind of costume of false humility but he insisted that he wasn't a hero. And the fact that he regretted deeply what he did and he didn't regret the fact at all that he leaked documents that had been designated top secret.
