40th Anniversary of publishing of Pentagon Papers

Forty years after The New York Times published the Pentagon Papers, the complete version was released on June 13, 2011 by the National Archives. Daniel Ellsberg, pictured here with his wife Patricia in this UPI file photo, was responsible for leaking the papers to the press. The Pentagon Papers revealed serious issues with the administering of the Vietnam War by various administrations. President Richard Nixon tried to suppress the report, but the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the press. UPI/files
