Ok, haven't even read the article. I'm just trying to figure out this bit:
In the summer of 1967, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara commissioned a group of thirty-six scholars to write a secret history of the Vietnam War. The project took a year and a half...Ellsberg was dismayed by what he learned. For a generation, the U.S. government had been lying to the American people about the Vietnam War.
Wut?

Well I guess in spite of it starting years too soon, it still isn't definitive....
