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.
