He was charged in 1971 under the Espionage Act as well as for theft and conspiracy for copying the Pentagon Papers. The trial was dismissed in 1973 after evidence of government misconduct, including illegal wiretapping, was introduced in court.

In 1971 Daniel Ellsberg did commit espionage but not for himself, but for his country. In some ways Snowden is the future Ellsberg, letting the people of the U.S. know that their information is not safe, and that all of their documents and personal information is being keep.

Daniel Ellsberg Thinks 'Very Much Less' Of John Kerry For His 'Despicable' Snowden Comm... - 0 views
-
Ellsberg, however, told HuffPost Live's Alyona Minkovski that Kerry's remarks on Snowden are some of the most "despicable" he has ever heard. He also stated that if Snowden were to return to the U.S., as Kerry suggests, "We would not hear from [Snowden] for the rest of his life."
-
The US would treat Snowden as a terrorist and throw him in Guantanamo Bay with the rest of their detainees that never had the right to a fair trial. This is why I believe Ellsberg disapproves of Kerry's remarks.

Ellsberg worked on a top-secret report ordered by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara entitled U.S. Decision-making in Vietnam, 1945-1968. Better known as "The Pentagon Papers," the final product was a 7,000-page, 47-volume study that Ellsberg called "evidence of a quarter century of aggression, broken treaties, deceptions, stolen elections, lies and murder."
-
Ellsberg decided to end what he saw as his complicity with the Vietnam War and start working to bring about its end. He recalled, "Their example put the question in my head: What could I do to help shorten this war, now that I'm prepared to go to prison for it?"

Daniel Ellsberg released "The Pentagon Papers" to end with war. His frustration overpowered his decisions because he knew the consequences following to that act. He called the document "an evidence of aggression, broken treaties, deceptions, stolen elections, lies , and murder". In March 1971 he published the papers to the NYT. Working in a top-secret mission required a lot of honesty upon everything . He failed his job and didn't fix much. However, the public was in his side, going against the Vietnam War.

-
So in March 1971 Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times, which began publishing them three months later.

Contemporary art is by definition the art of our times, but that doesn't mean that contemporary artists are only concerned with the present.
-
People nowadays, think that contemporary art is based on present surroundings and inspirations. However, art is like history, everything form the past has and impact in the present. Modern artists often go back in time looking for inspirations and ideas that will connect with the contemporary art. Art is a way to express what's going on in the present with some influence of history.
-
-
For these artists, making art can be a form of research and a method of digging into the past
-
Perhaps not surprisingly, cameras, photographs and film figure most prominently as the tools-of-trade and representational devices of choice for a good number of the artists here. Particularly favored are analog cameras — the kind that still use film — most likely because they're going the way of the dinosaur.

N.S.A. Collecting Millions of Faces From Web Images - NYTimes.com - 2 views
-
“It’s not just the traditional communications we’re after: It’s taking a full-arsenal approach that digitally exploits the clues a target leaves behind in their regular activities on the net to compile biographic and biometric information” that can help “implement precision targeting,” noted a 2010 document.
-
Neither federal privacy laws nor the nation’s surveillance laws provide specific protections for facial images.
-
Because the agency considers images a form of communications content, the N.S.A. would be required to get court approval for imagery of Americans collected through its surveillance programs, just as it must to read their emails or eavesdrop on their phone conversations, according to an N.S.A. spokeswoman.
-
Doesn't this contradict the previous highlighted statement?
