John Kowalski Wrote:The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers. Has anyone seen this documentary? It received an Oscar nomination last night.
Some researchers believe that JFK's assassination is linked to the Vietnam war, does anyone know if the Pentagon Papers discusses JFK's intentions regarding Vietnam?

John,
The finest thing I've seen on the PP is Peter Dale Scott's dissenting essay in the Chomsky edited (?) collection of same which came with, I hope I'm right in saying, the Gravel edition (vol 5, again from memory). It makes an overwhelming case for the entire project being a CIA whitewash of its role in facilitating the US invasion of Vietnam. If you read nothing else on the subject, read this, it's a tour de force.
