WikiLeaks' disclosure of tens of thousands of classified documents to the media has sparked passionate debate over national security and the limits of First-Amendment freedoms. On April 28, KQED News, UC Berkeley Law, and the UC Berkeley School of Information held a panel discussion called National Security and Free Speech: From Wikileaks to the Pentagon. Moderated by KQED's Scott Shafer, panel participants were:

  • Daniel Ellsberg, the former U.S. military analyst who famously leaked secret Department of Defense documents that became known as the Pentagon Papers
  • Lowell Bergman, former Frontline and NY Times investigative reporter
  • Robert Cole, UCB Professor of Law, Emeritus

    Listen to the event below:

    The discussion will also be broadcast on KQED FM 88.5 on May 21 at 1:00 p.m.

    This panel discussion was preceded by two others:

    • Transparency and Accountability vs. Diplomacy and Deliberation
    • Privately Created Public Platforms: To Whom Should They Be Accountable?

    You can listen to those here.
