HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — Supporters of the Army private charged with leaking classified material to WikiLeaks are calling for his release at rallies and events scheduled through this weekend in 18 U.S. cities.
The so-called “Days of Action” begin Thursday with a rally in Oakland, Calif., featuring Daniel Ellsberg.
Ellsberg was the source of the Pentagon Papers, which exposed secrets about the Vietnam War nearly 40 years ago.
