NOTE FROM ANDY:
After 40 years, the Defense Department is finally officially releasing
(essentially) all of the documents that Daniel Ellsberg leaked to
the press that eventually became known as The Pentagon Papers.
It was all about American foreign policy, the Vietnam War,
the secrets of Henry Kissinger’s hair… all sorts of classified stuff.
