The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers [NR]: Former Marine, policy analyst for the Defense Department, confidant to Robert McNamara and friend of Noam Chomsky, anti-war felon Daniel Ellsberg smuggled classified documents to a treasonous press that came to be known as the Pentagon Papers. As one of the left's heroes, Ellsberg is credited with bringing out the discrepancies about execution of the Vietnam War to bring down Nixon. Nixon couldn't have cared less because the Pentagon Papers concerned his predecessor's policies. At the cost of 58,000 lives of my generation, Democrats fumbled and falsified Intel to escalate expansion into southeast Asia. To its credit, this documentary acknowledges that President John F. Kennedy lied through his teeth to Congress to send in troops in violation of the Geneva Accord, and how LBJ and McNamara admitted we couldn't win in Vietnam but allowed the body count to rise for an additional seven years. Democrats! Democrats! Democrats! But let a "plumbers" unit dig up dirt on Ellsberg by breaking into his psychiatrist's office and Nixon's the One. Only the left can equate 58,000 deaths with rummaging through desk drawers. When it's all said and done, Daniel Ellsberg, like Jane Fonda and the radical left, wanted the North Vietnamese to win!
