Anthony J. Russo Jr., left, and Mr. Ellsberg outside the federal court in Los Angeles in 1973 after Judge William M. Byrne Jr. dismissed all the charges against them. Mr. Ellsberg’s wife, Patricia, was at right.

He was a Democrat POS.
but he lived to 92, Y’all know the good they die young.
He had his run in life. No great loss.
I’d think he will arrive to where he deserves.
The Vietnam War. A war America lost at home and abroad.
RIP
That second picture looks like a cross between Gary Hart ad Joe Biden.
The growing dishonesty of the upper military levels came to a head. The JCS were simply lying about the progress of the war. After WW2 the American public had a lot of trust in the military. The revelation of those lies are a devastating disaster for the good name of the Army. Americans felt very betrayed. The Pentagon wasn’t lying for operational security. After all Ho Chi Minh knew that we weren’t winning. The Pentagon lies were only to cover up the crashing incompetence of Generals who were way over their heads and incapable of dealing with an insurgency. Fools were using tactics designed to fight the Imperial Japanese Army or the Wehrmacht. Not the NVA.
Ellsworth did us a favor.
As soon as Westmoreland proposed dropping a nuke on our marines at Khe San and killing alot of our own guys to get 40,000 NVA, we should have bugged out of that sh*thole.
Was he disclosing classified information that endangered military personnel?
Was he prosecuted under the espionage act?
How much prison time did Ellsberg serve?
I don’t know the answers, it was before my time, so I’m asking questions about liberal hero Ellsberg
He looked the part: a rat.
I think what he released was information we needed to know.
We were being lied to, our troops were having their hands tied, and there was no intention of winning.
If it can be destroyed by the truth then we are better off having it destroyed.
Why is anyone upset that someone let the public know what a DEMOCRAT administration was doing?
Ellsberg ping
Probably an atheist.Imagine his shock when he arrived at the gates of Hell.
If anyone knows where he is to be buried, I’ll take a trip there to piss on his grave.

This is one of the reasons that Vietnam won the war.
Memory Eternal.
He and Fonda should have been tried for espionage....traitors both.
Burn in hell you commie bitch!
Say what you will about Ellsberg but Nixon and LBJ were worthless scum-sucking criminals. The blood of millions is on their hands.
