“西水门事件”指的就是“管道工小组”在洛杉矶撬 Ellsberg 同学心理医生办公室门的事 :-)
书里还说到由于“Pentagon Papers leak”，包括 Ellsberg 同学在内十几个人电话被窃听。Authorization 有来自 FBI，也有直接来自基辛格同学。Woodward 同学打电话问基辛格同学有无这种事，后者回答说“Almost never”
上面玻璃坊网友说起50多年前的“纽约时报公司诉合众国案”。当时最高法院判决书上，布莱克同学写道：
“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...”
在今天的酱缸文化看来，写这些文字的人必定是万恶的“白左”无疑 :-)
