Today's New York Times features an op-ed by Ellsberg titled "Truths Worth Telling" in which he writes: "Surely there are officials in the present administration who recognize that the United States has been misled into a war in Iraq, but who have so far kept their silence -- as I long did about the war in Vietnam. To them I have a personal message: don't repeat my mistakes. Don't wait until more troops are sent, and thousands more have died, before telling truths that could end a war and save lives. Do what I wish I had done in 1964: go to the press, to Congress, and document your claims." Author of the book "Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers," Ellsberg faced 115 years on 12 felony counts in 1971 for leaking the Pentagon Papers. RAY McGOVERN, rmcgovern@slschool.org , http://www.antiwar.com/news/?articleid=3565 Also available for a limited number of interviews, McGovern is one of the signatories with Ellsberg to a recent statement, "A Call to Patriotic Whistleblowing," available at the above web address. McGovern is a 27-year veteran of the CIA. STEPHEN ZUNES, zunes@usfca.edu, http://www.fpif.org The first presidential debate scheduled for Thursday will focus on foreign policy. Middle East editor for Foreign Policy in Focus and author of the book "Tinderbox: U.S. Middle East Policy and the Roots of Terrorism," Professor Zunes has written a series of articles contrasting the foreign policy of Bush and Kerry, most recently: "Kerry vs. Bush: A Humphrey-Nixon Redux?"
