Mr. Ellsberg Case Summary

Dr. Richard Kolecki M.D. 4051 Clubhouse Court Center Valley, Pa. 18034 (484) 767-2196, was advised of the identity of Investigator Sean P. Brennan and of the confidential nature and purpose of the interview, Kolecki, provided the following information:

Edward Snowden isn’t the only person who believes what the U.S. had done was wrong, but also many American leaders, and other nations around the world. The United States had not only been collecting data on their own citizens, but also of other countries leaders and citizens. The release of these documents had strained political relationships between the U.S. and other allied nations. The knowledge and truth other leaders and nations had gained

Edward Snowden. This is a name that will be in the history books for ages. He will be branded a traitor or a whistleblower depending on where you look. Many Americans feel that Edward Snowden is a traitor who sold the United States’ secrets aiming to harm the nation. Others believe that he was simply a citizen of the United States who exercised his right to expose the government for their unconstitutional actions. It is important to not only know the two sides to the argument of friend or foe, but to also know the facts as well. My goal in this paper is to present the facts without bias and to adequately portray the two sides of the argument.

Jan Schlichtmann is not good role model for personal injury attorneys. He chose to take the Woburn case because he believed it would positively impact his reputation in the legal community, and he did not consider the case’s requirements. The book implies that he had a certain commitment to his vision of himself as a savior and a maverick, using unorthodox techniques to reach a trial victory in favor of his clients, a self-concept that I believe involves more personal investment than is healthy or beneficial for a personal injury attorney. Ultimately, he lacked experience, which manifested in a variety of ways that damaged the plaintiffs’ case.

“… to gather news it is often necessary to agree either not to identify the source of information published or to publish only part of the facts revealed, or both; that if the reporter is nevertheless forced to reveal these confidences to a grand jury, the source so identified and other confidential sources of other reporters will be measurably deterred from furnishing publishable information, all to the detriment of the free flow of information, protected by the first amendment.” (3)

The man charged with the decapitation murder of Broadwater's Edward 'Ned' Kelly has been committed to stand trial. Jonathon Stenberg appeared by video link at Lismore Local court this morning. Stenberg did not enter a plea or apply for bail. By doing so Stenberg waived his right to have a committal hearing to answer the charge of murder. Magistrate R Denes committed Stenberg to stand trial in the Supreme Court in Sydney on June 7.

Mr. Hesterberg acknowledges not being available to for all visits offered to him. The father reported that there were times when he was offered additional time, but was not able to take it. He indicated that his job in New York City did not prohibit him to be able to go to Florida when the mother offered visitation.

Another issue in this case is the “theft” that Snowden partook in. Theft is the “act of stealing; the wrongful taking and carrying away of the personal goods or property of another; larceny” ("Theft | Define Theft at Dictionary.com." xx). This aspect of the case is important because Snowden’s actions reject the cultural norms of what is expected of individuals in respect to the term. These expectations within our culture is for individuals to not commit acts of theft.

secret report, published by Daniel Ellsburg, about another truth that Nixon was trying to cover-

“I've really heard nothing at all about the risks of closed society, of silence, of lies.”, says Ellsberg. He knew it would be more beneficial for him to be silent and let this information stay secret, but he also felt that was not the right thing to do. By this Ellsberg shows some transcendentalism, by trusting his gut about what he thought was right. “I wasted years of trying to do it though channels, first within the executive branch and then with Congress. During that time, more than 10,000 Americans died, and probably more than a million Vietnamese.” says Ellsberg. He tried to go through different areas of government, such as congress, when the real solution to his problem was relying on himself to fix it. Taking action into his own hands was what truly made a

Daniel Ellsberg took a stand against the government by releasing a copy of the Pentagon Papers to press in an effort to inform the public about the Pentagon Papers and their contents about U.S. policy in Vietnam (Indochina). (Reason.com) His friend and former colleague at RAND Corporation, Anthony Russo was his partner in revealing the Pentagon Papers. Daniel took copies of the Pentagon Papers to many different senators before going to the press. As a result of “threatening national security”, they were both charged with serious crimes like espionage. A few months later, Anthony and Daniel got off on a mistrial after it was learned that there was a break-in at his psychiatrist’s office by two government officials who worked

Ellsberg believed that Americans needed to know what was in the reports, and decided to make the Pentagon Papers public. Ellsberg broke several laws and gave copies to the New York Times, which began printing excerpts from the documents. The government immediately obtained a court order preventing the New York Times from printing more of the documents, arguing that publishing the material threatened national security. This was the first time in history that the government had successfully ordered a prior restraint on national security. Historically, prior restraint has been considered the most serious form of censorship.

Critics of Edward Snowden label him a traitor and a coward. They condemn him for irreparably harming government security operations and setting of a worldwide chain of events that weakened the American position on the world stage. While America now has blight on its records due to the leaks, the topic that should be addressed is should the whistle-blower, the man who uncovered and exposed the questionable and wrong activities, be blamed or should those who allowed the illegal and immoral activities be held accountable for what they started. Edward Snowden had the justification and conviction to do the correct thing and present the incriminating evidence straight to the public. When one takes in consideration everything that Snowden has lost because of his decision, there was little gain for him to make the immoral activities public. Snowden’s crime is breaching the trust of his government contract to expose egregious monitoring by the government on the American public. In an interview conducted by the Washington Post, Snowden speaks out about his goal in releasing the files: “All I wanted was for the public to be able to have a say in how they are governed,”

The case is about the two officials, Otto Otepka and Daniel Ellsbergs, who acted as whistle blowers. The Organization around which the case revolves is the State Department. Both Otepka and Ellsberg broke the law and acted alone in secret and in the services which they believed to be important public interests. The individuals have tried to justify civil disobedience. Though both the cases are different, but they acted upon the same laws of motion in some ways. Both the men are ideologically opposites, but they have similarities between their respective exploits, viewed on a suitably high plane of reflection after all the human juices and interesting particulars have been drained away to leave the arid generalities. They followed their higher

In early 2013 a man by the name of Edward Joseph Snowden began leaking classified National Security Agency (NSA) documents to media outlets, which in turn ended up in public ears. These documents, mainly involving intelligence Snowden acquired while working as an NSA contractor, are mostly related to global surveillance programs run by the NSA. This has raised multiple ethical issues ranging from national security, information privacy and the ethics behind whistleblowing in general. The reach and impact of these leaks have gone global and have put in question the very government that protects us as well as the extent of the public’s rights on privacy. Various foreign
