“西水門事件”指的就是“管道工小組”在洛杉磯撬 Ellsberg 同學心理醫生辦公室門的事 :-)
書裏還說到由於“Pentagon Papers leak”，包括 Ellsberg 同學在內十幾個人電話被竊聽。Authorization 有來自 FBI，也有直接來自基辛格同學。Woodward 同學打電話問基辛格同學有無這種事，後者回答說“Almost never”
上麵玻璃坊網友說起50多年前的“紐約時報公司訴合眾國案”。當時最高法院判決書上，布萊克同學寫道：
“In the First Amendment the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors. The Government's power to censor the press was abolished so that the press would remain forever free to censure the Government. The press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of government and inform the people. Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government. And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people...”
在今天的醬缸文化看來，寫這些文字的人必定是萬惡的“白左”無疑 :-)
