Daniel Ellsberg disclosed thousands of classified documents to the media.


California: Daniel Ellsberg, the whistleblower and military analyst who exposed the classified “Pentagon Papers” during the Vietnam War, has died at the age of 92.
Ellsberg’s family confirmed his demise and celebrated his enduring legacy as a truth-teller and anti-war activist.
By leaking the Pentagon Papers, he shed light on the deceit and falsehoods propagated by successive US administrations regarding the Vietnam War.
In 1971, Ellsberg's bold act involved disclosing thousands of classified documents to the media.
These papers unveiled the consistent dishonesty of US government officials regarding the Vietnam War, revealing the futility of the conflict.
Pentagon Papers, comprising 7,000 classified pages, exposed the government's deliberate deception about the achievement of the Vietnam War.
Contrary to official claims, the documents revealed that victory was highly unlikely.
