Movie Trailer: The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers
A great subject for a documentary - if it's on the level.
Given that the trailer drags out ol' Tricky Dick and Kissinger as the villains attempting to hide something, while ignoring the scope of what the Pentagon Papers revealed, indicates this probably is slanted.
The "Pentagon Papers" are actually United States–Vietnam Relations, 1945–1967: A Study Prepared by the Department of Defense. 1945-1967...what is it about that span of time? hmm...
President Harry S. Truman 1945-1953
President Dwight D. Eisenhower 1953-1961
President John F. Kennedy 1961-1963
Lyndon B. Johnson 1963-1969
Oh, that's it, for the whole 22 years, 8 were under a Republican administration. 14 years of Democratic control ignored and the thing is hung on Nixon.
I wonder if the film bothers explaining LBJ's flagrant lies and misdirections about Vietnam? What of JFK's involvement in the region? If not, its a crock.

The Iraq war has served as the baby boomer's nostalgia fix for the good old Vietnam days. The Nixon interview movie, the Woodstock movie and this movie are examples of that.
What's really pathetic, though, is the number of young people who just blindly accept the Vietnam/hippie mythos as the dominant culture, the opposite to what the baby boomers did with their parents and particularly their grand parents ideas.
It's as if the youth have been brainwashed by a generation which resented their parents emphasis on freedom of thought and hated them for it.
