Daniel Ellsberg, the Pentagon Papers whistleblower, has died.
Henry Kissinger called him the most dangerous man in America. Before Edward Snowden, before Chelsea Manning, and a year before Deep Throat, he revealed that the United States knew it couldn’t win the war in Vietnam. In an attempt to discredit him, Nixon set off the Watergate scandal that led to his own resignation.
The New York Times’ obituary for Ellsberg is free to read.
