H.E. Guoni Th. Johannesson, President of #Iceland at @CES_Europe #CES2023 - humor is necessary in political discourse. Humor is fine when you make fun of people in power. It's a sign of confidence. It's very different when your jokes target those who can't defend themselves.

In 1990, I was at a protest in front of the White House and I asked someone what the Gulf of Tonkin was. It was Daniel Ellsberg. He schooled me and went on to become an active member of Marc Raskin's national security seminar at GWU. Rest in Power.

Disillusioned by the Vietnam War, Daniel Ellsberg leaked a top-secret history of the conflict, the Pentagon Papers. It led to a landmark Supreme Court case.
