Default Re: Did Daniel Ellsberg bring down Nixon?

Pentagon Papers II would be some very boring and singularly unremarkable reading.

Pentagon Papers I provided more insight into the stupidity that drove the system the government uses to classify information than it did about any state secrets used in deciding to escalate or how to conduct the war in Vietnam. The "papers" were all Johnson-era documents, so you can rest assured that they would have been leaked by the Nixon Administration themselves if there had been anything of embarassing value in them.

Ellsberg was just one little fish in a great big school of targets. I personally suspect the Plumbers would have come into being even without the Pentagon Papers episode.

Ellsberg didn't bring down Nixon - Nixon brought down Nixon.
