This is the real story of Who Mike Gravel really Is.

Amy Goodman's intro to the piece:

Today, we hear the story from three men at the center of the storm: Former Pentagon and RAND Corporation analyst, famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg who leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times. Mike Gravel–the former Alaska Senator who is now a Democratic Presidential candidate–who tells the dramatic story of how he entered the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional record and got them to the Beacon Press. And Robert West, the former president of the Unitarian Universalist Association which owned the Press and agreed to risk publication of the Pentagon Papers.

I really like him for this. The time and place of his entering the Pentagon Papers into the Congressional Record just warms the cockles of my heart. He's one of the originals who held back the tide of ultra-reich-wing conservatism way back then.

And consider the time -- how old would John Lennon be today? Gravel's got a bloody right to do the odd wacky ad that's straight outta Sargent Pepper's or The White Album.

Check out the DN vid -- it's the history your teachers did not teach you.
