Oh, okay, okay. I had this week, Congressman Martin Heinrich talks about the federal budget economic development and why he wants to be New Mexico's next senator. Plus, Daniel Ellsberg was once dubbed the most dangerous man in America for leaking the Pentagon papers. His lessons for us today on government transparency. New Mexico and focus starts now, sorry about that, sure, sure, sure. And three, two, and one. New Mexico and focus starts now. We're right on. Long before WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, there was Daniel Ellsberg.
He infamously copied hundreds of classified documents during the Vietnam War and then released them to the media, now known as the Pentagon papers. They helped to shine a new light on the motivations for the U.S. involvement in Vietnam and in the end contributed to the downfall of President Richard Nixon. I had this week on the Mexico and focus an exclusive interview with the most dangerous man himself, what he has to say to future journalists about the need to balance government secrecy with the public's right to know, plus how you learn more about Ellsberg's story right here on your PBS Airwaves. Also ahead this week, he's a religious leader in one of the most violent cities in the world. NMI have corresponded, David Alire Garcia sits down with the Bishop of Juarez, Mexico, for
a conversation about his role in what is becoming an increasingly more and more chaotic community. But up first, the 2012 election season is officially in full swing. One of New Mexico's most high profile campaigns will be the race to replace outgoing U.S. Senator Jeff Binghamen.
