Julian Assange got the support of Daniel Ellsberg, the source behind the Pentagon Papers, who told a London court that the WikiLeaks founder won’t get a fair trial in the U.S.
Ellsberg said that Assange’s publication of thousands of American cables and war logs was of “comparable importance” to that of the Pentagon Papers -- a secret government study on the Vietnam War. The 89-year-old was backing Assange’s bid to avoid extradition.
