Red and SabanFan, I thought you'd both enjoy this link to nostalgia...to the political action that had the most far reaching impact of all in the '70s Most of you guys were too young to remember this, but it led to a sitting president resigning his office for the first time in history. Pentagon Papers leaker: I should have done it sooner | NOLA.com Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times 40 years ago, said Sunday in New Orleans that he had one regret about disclosing the secret history of America’s involvement in Indochina: that he didn’t do it sooner. He had the opportunity because he worked in the Pentagon and, later, on the top-secret report on the Vietnam War that Defense Secretary Robert McNamara commissioned. The study concluded that the conflict was catastrophic and that Americans had been kept in the dark for more than 20 years about their leaders’ intention to expand the fighting. Although Ellsberg knew all this, he kept mum. (It all began with just a little burglary of this guy's psychiatrist's office.)
