Pentagon Papers    1971-1973

Daniel Ellsberg's leaks

from inside the Pentagon

helped to end the Vietnam war.

On June 13, 1971,

The New York Times began

publishing the Pentagon Papers,

a documentary history tracing

the ultimately doomed involvement

of the United States in a grinding war

in the jungles and rice paddies

of Southeast Asia.

They demonstrated, among other things,

that the Johnson Administration

had systematically lied,

not only to the public but also to Congress,

about a subject of transcendent national

interest and significance.

The Government sought and won

a court order restraining further publication

after three articles had appeared.

Other newspapers

then began publishing.

They, too, were restrained,

until finally, on June 30, 1971,

the United States Supreme Court

ruled, by a vote of 9 to 0,

that publication could resume.
