I've read Daniel Ellsberg's book, "Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam...", a surprisingly riveting account of getting the Pentagon Papers published. I doubt if today the pussy newspapers would go out on a limb as they did(reluctantly) back in the 70's. If Nixon's spooks were actually competent (?), things would even be worse today. I think they(the spooks) were supposed to be caught to bring down Nixon, which, in fact did happen. Seedy is too nice a term for government actors. The capitalists have become front and center these days. Bezos, Musk, Gates, Koch(s), et. al. Ruthless comes to mind. Peace

Americans should be protesting in support of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. It appears that the American people have lost their souls.
