Ellsberg: “Every attack now made on WikiLeaks and Julian Assange was made against me and the release of the Pentagon Papers at the time.”
DANIEL ELLSBERG
A former government analyst, Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers, a secret government history of the Vietnam War to the New York Times and other newspapers in 1971. He was an admirer of Sam Adams when they were both working on Vietnam and in March 1968 disclosed to the New York Times some of Adams’ accurate analysis, helping head off reinforcement of 206,000 additional troops into South Vietnam and a widening of the war at that time to neighboring countries. http://www.ellsberg.net/archive/public-accuracy-press-release#more-451
