We need heroes.

I have been re-inspired and invigorated by remembering and relearning the story of the Pentagon Papers. It provides framework for understanding what is happening with wikileaks now, which is helpful as I try to teach this to my kids.

Really, though, what my kids- and me- and all of us- need right now (and I fear increasingly in years to come) is models of very very brave people standing up even when it made them fearful and unpopular. Even when standing up meant standing up to our very own government, to be willing to shake the trust of the entire nation (and the world).

It changed everything.
