Check out these two new (unrelated) reports by men who embody the Truthdig mission of drilling beneath the headlines:
Daniel Ellsberg: “Time to Drive Out the Bush Regime”—The man who gave the world the Pentagon Papers delivers an impassioned plea to a new generation of activists to heed the lessons of Nixon and even Hitler when taking stock of the Bush administrations nuclear ambitions.
Excerpt: “The nuclear wars in our future—that would be started by an act now being planned by this country—are Hitler-like to the hundredth degree.”
Sam Harris: “God’s Rottweiler Barks”—The bestselling author of The End of Faith gives a fiery response to Pope Benedict XVIs speech on the interplay between faith and reason.
Excerpt: It is ironic that a man who has just disparaged Islam as evil and inhuman before 250,000 onlookers and the world press is now talking about a genuine dialogue of cultures.
